The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep wood oiled
- 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 are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Should I try a DIY kit 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, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved

FAQs for Fairlight
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
If you are in Fairlight and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
When to call us in Fairlight
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Scorch marks from pans
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Knife marks
- Damage to a stone worktop
