About our worktop repair in Boundary
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We regularly repair solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are chipped corners and gouges in the surface.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Boundary
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Boundary. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Repair or replace in Boundary?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use a chopping board
- Clean spills right away
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Boundary questions
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
