Worktop repair in Cann, done in place
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for scratches and knife marks and scorch marks from pans, in solid wood, granite & marble and laminate.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cann. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cann
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cann use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 normally cheaper.
