Repair or replace: which is better?

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DE6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
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.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Common questions in Ashbourne
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Laminate
