The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re 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 fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Foston

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

10 questions to ask before you book

Foston: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Normally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Do you come to Foston?

We do. We send a technician to Foston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Use a chopping board

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
