Worktop repair in Blackmore without replacing anything
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Whether it’s burns from hot pans and dents and gouges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What affects the price in Blackmore
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole worktop
Most customers in Blackmore get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we cannot put right

- Water-swollen laminate
- A top that moves on its units
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- Damage around the sink cut-out
- A heat mark or burn
