Questions from Caring
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Caring is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What affects the price in Caring
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Failed support under the worktop
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

- 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.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
