DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace in Cane End?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Repairs by material
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Cane End: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What affects the price in Cane End
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
