How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Barking Riverside, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Barking Riverside. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire worktop
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
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. Repairing it early stops that.
