Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Holborn Hill, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Questions from Holborn Hill
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
