Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Worktop repair in Earl Stonham, done in place
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are scorch marks from pans and damage from fitting or building work.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Earl Stonham
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Earl Stonham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
