Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Forton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Forton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Keep wood oiled
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Never put hot pans down directly
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.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
