Worktop repair in Canisbay without replacing anything
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for damage around the sink cut-out and gouges in the surface, in solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Failed support under the worktop
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Canisbay

Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Canisbay
For anyone letting property in or around Canisbay, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Canisbay
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Chipped corners
- Burns from hot pans
- A dent from a dropped pan
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Clean spills straight away
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
