DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Worktop repair in Boddam without replacing anything
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Common call-outs are for damage to a stone worktop and burns from hot pans, in quartz, solid wood and granite & marble.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about worktop repair in Boddam
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

What affects the price in Boddam
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a chopping board
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
When to call us in Boddam
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

- Damage from fitting or building work
