How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
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.
