How we handle worktop repair in Woodthorpe
Different worktops need different repairs: 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. Our technicians work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new kitchen and a dent from a dropped pan.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Water-swollen laminate
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
