Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Re-oil timber worktops
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

FAQs for Doddinghurst Common
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
