The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: 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 price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Brownlow?

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Clean spills right away
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
