Worktop repair in Inkpen Common, done in place
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Our repair technicians work on laminate, solid wood and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are burns from hot pans and knife marks.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Inkpen Common
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What happens next?

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Never put hot pans down directly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
