Worktop repair in Bapchild without replacing anything
We repair worktops in place. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We are frequently asked to fix damage to a stone worktop and scorch marks from pans, on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and laminate.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Landlord and trade work in Bapchild
If you manage property in Bapchild, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Use a chopping board
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Keep wood oiled
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 water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Repair or replace in Bapchild?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Bapchild
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Bapchild?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
