What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Catthorpe: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Landlord and trade work in Catthorpe
For anyone letting property in or around Catthorpe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Catthorpe
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Chips caused during installation
- Damage to a stone worktop
- A damaged sink edge
- Burns from hot pans

Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
