Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Landlords, agents and businesses in California
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in California use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to California. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
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
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Common questions in California
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you cover the entire of Birmingham?
Across the UK, so California is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
