How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Questions from Ardley End
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we will tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

- Dents and gouges

- Chipped corners
- Knife marks

What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
