Worktop repair in Backford Cross without replacing anything
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new kitchen and dents and gouges.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Advice
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- Most jobs done in one visit

When to call us in Backford Cross
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Scorch marks from pans
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Knife marks

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep wood oiled
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Never put hot pans down directly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Backford Cross. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Backford Cross: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
