Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Banknock
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Banknock questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean spills right away
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
