About our worktop repair in Woodhurst
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We are often asked to fix snagging damage in a new kitchen and damage to a stone worktop, on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

- We fill and shape the damaged area.

Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep wood oiled
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Wipe up spills quickly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When to call us in Woodhurst
Most chips are on edges and corners, often when something heavy catches the edge.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Chips caused during installation
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A top that moves on its units
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
