Questions from Bookham
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Typically, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Bookham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we are called out for in Bookham

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A damaged sink edge

- Knife marks
- Chips caused during installation
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Water-swollen laminate
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Bookham
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Solid wood
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Clean spills immediately
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Bookham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
