Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a chopping board
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Wipe up spills quickly
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. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Worktop repair in Chedington, done in place
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz, and the jobs we see most are scratches and knife marks and damage around the sink cut-out.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Questions from Chedington
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are there extra charges for Chedington?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Chedington?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Chedington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Landlord and trade work in Chedington
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Common problems we fix in Chedington
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Gouges in the surface
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

What else we do in Chedington
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should you replace it?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
