How we handle worktop repair in Ham
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage in a new kitchen and a dent from a dropped pan.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
