Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Do you need worktop repair in Alvaston?
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scorch marks from pans
- Dents and gouges
- Chips on edges and corners
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derby and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Alvaston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
FAQs for Alvaston
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep wood oiled
- Wipe up spills quickly
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
