When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Acton Trussell
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should you replace it?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we’re called out for in Acton Trussell
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Chips caused during installation
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- A chipped edge
- Damage to a stone worktop
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep joints and edges dry
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
