Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
About our worktop repair in Fairlop
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Our technicians work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are scorch marks from pans and chipped corners.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Fairlop and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Fairlop questions
Are there extra charges for Fairlop?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fairlop use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
