Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep wood oiled
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Wipe up spills quickly
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Common questions in Burnt Heath
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
What affects the price in Burnt Heath
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CO7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
