- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.

- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean spills straight away
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- 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.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
