Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Binsted
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Keep wood oiled
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
What we’re called out for in Binsted
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- A heat mark or burn
- Scratches and knife marks
- Damage around the sink cut-out
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
FAQs for Binsted
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
