Chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops in Chacewater, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on

What else we do in Chacewater
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep wood oiled
- Wipe up spills quickly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Chacewater: your questions answered
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Chacewater. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
