- Repairs from £95
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Knife marks
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How we handle worktop repair in Birkenhead
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. We regularly repair laminate, granite & marble and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges in the surface and a heat mark or burn.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.
Birkenhead: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are there extra charges for Birkenhead?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you cover Birkenhead?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Birkenhead for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Never put hot pans down directly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repair or replace in Birkenhead?
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. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
