Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Repairing versus replacing in Catforth
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scratches and knife marks
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Dents and gouges
