About our worktop repair in Workhouse Common
We repair worktops in place. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are a chipped edge and chips near the sink.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Common questions in Workhouse Common
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How much does worktop repair cost in Workhouse Common?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NR12 postcode.
What areas do you cover?
All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
