Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most customers in Ford End get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
