DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common questions in Birdwood
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate

- Solid surface (such as Corian)

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Birdwood. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
