Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a chopping board
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole worktop
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DE6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Get a quote
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.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
If you manage property in Draycott in the Clay, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Draycott in the Clay
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
