Worktop repair in Cairns without replacing anything
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. If you are dealing with cuts and scratches in the surface and burns from hot pans, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Should you replace it?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Cairns: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you cover Cairns?
We do. We send a technician to Cairns for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When to call us in Cairns
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Damage to a stone worktop
- A heat mark or burn
- A chipped edge
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Clean spills straight away
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cairns. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cairns. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole worktop
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
