Worktop repair at your home in Branksome
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate, and the jobs we see most are chips on edges and corners and chips caused during installation.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 else we do in Branksome
How it works
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 what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not let water sit on joints
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
What we’re called out for in Branksome
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chipped edge
- Chips in quartz or granite
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Damage around the sink cut-out

Branksome: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Branksome is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
