How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Your questions about worktop repair in Beech Lanes
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you match granite flecks?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Usually. A picture lets us check.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Beech Lanes and the rest of Birmingham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
