What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
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 I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A top that moves on its units
- Through cracks in stone that is moving

Repair or replace in Balmerlawn?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

FAQs for Balmerlawn
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you cover Balmerlawn?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Balmerlawn for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job without visiting.
