How we handle worktop repair in Evenwood
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and common reasons people contact us are damage from fitting or building work and scratches and knife marks.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Evenwood
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Evenwood included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Do you cover Evenwood?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Evenwood from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Evenwood. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
For a price in Evenwood, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlord and trade work in Evenwood
For anyone letting property in or around Evenwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean spills straight away
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Re-oil timber worktops
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
