Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep wood oiled
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
