Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your M6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- 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.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Your questions about worktop repair in Irlams o' th' Height
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Greater Manchester. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
