What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Common problems we fix in Borrowby
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scorch marks from pans
- Damage from fitting or building work
- A chipped quartz edge
- Dents and gouges
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Borrowby. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Questions from Borrowby
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price 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 pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Dry around the sink and joints
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. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
