Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Worktop repair at your home in Glyndebourne
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Whether it’s a chipped quartz edge and burns from hot pans, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Glyndebourne as everywhere else we work.

Glyndebourne questions
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you cover Glyndebourne?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Glyndebourne from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
Should you replace it?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Glyndebourne. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean spills immediately
- Keep wood oiled
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
