Worktop repair in Croydon without replacing anything
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Whether it’s damage around the sink cut-out and cuts and scratches in the surface, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Never put hot pans down directly
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage

Related advice
Should you replace it?
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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we’re called out for in Croydon
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage from fitting or building work
- A damaged sink edge
- Scorch marks from pans
- Chips on edges and corners

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Failed support under the worktop

- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Croydon
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
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 after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
