Worktop repair in Doxford Park without replacing anything
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are damage around the sink cut-out and scorch marks from pans.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Doxford Park questions
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Common problems we fix in Doxford Park
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- A dent from a dropped pan
- A chipped edge
- Damage around the sink cut-out
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
