About our worktop repair in Writhlington
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s knife marks and chips near the sink, we can generally put it right, on solid wood, granite & marble and laminate alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Writhlington: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Writhlington. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Oil wooden tops regularly
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. An early repair prevents it.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Failed support under the worktop
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Writhlington
