Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace in Ilam?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Laminate

Ilam questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What affects the price in Ilam
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
