DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hendon
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Hendon
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.
Common reasons people in Hendon contact us are:
- Chips caused during installation
- Chipped corners
- Scratches and knife marks
- A damaged sink edge

How the visit works

- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price

Advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Hendon: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
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.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you cover Hendon?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Hendon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Usually. A picture lets us check.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
