Advice
How we handle worktop repair in Wortham Ling
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our technicians work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and people most frequently call us about scratches and knife marks and chips caused during installation.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Why repair rather than replace?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we are called out for in Wortham Ling
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Damage from fitting or building work
- A heat mark or burn
- Chipped corners
- Gouges in the surface
Before you book anyone
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
