What else we do in Down Street
Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Down Street. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN22 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Down Street: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are there extra charges for Down Street?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Re-oil timber worktops
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
