DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Do not let water sit on joints
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
What affects the price in Fordham
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
