Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Worktop repair at your home in Daws Heath

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. We repair them all in your kitchen. We work on laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about knife marks and dents and gouges.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Daws Heath

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. A picture lets us check.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Are there extra charges for Daws Heath?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Daws Heath

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our pricing.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SS7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
