What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Castle Dene
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use a chopping board
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
What affects the price in Castle Dene
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Castle Dene. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole worktop
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
