Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Brightlingsea. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire worktop
Most customers in Brightlingsea get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Failed support under the worktop
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Brightlingsea: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
When to call us in Brightlingsea
Edges and corners chip most often, usually from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Burns from hot pans
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- A chipped quartz edge
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Clean spills straight away
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Re-oil timber worktops
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
