Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Didcot. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Didcot. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Didcot

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

Do you work in Didcot?

We do. We send a technician to Didcot for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
