Repair or replace: which is better?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from Acton
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Generally. A picture lets us check.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Acton
Most worktop damage takes a second: 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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Chips in quartz or granite
- A dent from a dropped pan

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a chopping board
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep wood oiled
- Dry around the sink and joints
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Repairs by material
