Chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops in Gay Bowers, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Worktop repair in Gay Bowers without replacing anything
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. Whether it’s scratches and knife marks and a heat mark or burn, we can usually put it right, on quartz, granite & marble and solid wood alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gay Bowers. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Gay Bowers and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Questions from Gay Bowers
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
