Common problems we fix in Escomb

These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips near the sink
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused during installation
- A dent from a dropped pan

Common questions in Escomb
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What else we do in Escomb
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep wood oiled
- Dry around the sink and joints
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We leave the room as we found it
