Worktop repair at your home in Reading
We recreate the colour and pattern by hand, so the repair doesn’t show as a plain patch. Laminate that has swollen from water can’t be repaired from the top, and we’ll tell you before we start. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks around sinks and hobs and burns from hot pans.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Reading questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you fix stone worktops?
Yes. Chips on edges and around sinks are common, and we fill and polish them to match.
Can a burnt worktop be fixed?
Usually. We fill the burn and match the pattern. If the chipboard has swollen, a section may need replacing.
Do you come to Reading?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Reading. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What guarantee do I get?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How soon can I use it again?
Usually the same day or the next, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up when we finish.

Repairing versus replacing in Reading
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
