Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Butt Lane: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Staffordshire.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Butt Lane as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
