Worktop repair at your home in Yaxley
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and people most often call us about dents and gouges and chips caused during installation.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Yaxley questions
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Yaxley. Prices don’t change with location.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Clean spills straight away
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What we are called out for in Yaxley
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Common reasons people in Yaxley contact us include:
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Gouges in the surface
- A chipped edge
- Burns from hot pans

Repairs by material
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
