Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Worktop repair in Columbia, done in place
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. Whether it’s burns from hot pans and chipped corners, we can usually put it right, on solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Columbia
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Columbia. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Repair or replace in Columbia?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No need to remove anything
- A fixed quote before you book
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Do you need worktop repair in Columbia?
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A damaged sink edge
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Knife marks
- Damage to a stone worktop
