What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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 the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chillington as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairs by material
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean spills immediately
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Use a chopping board
- Re-oil timber worktops
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
