Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Clean spills straight away
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
What we are called out for in Kelvindale
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Burns from hot pans
- Scratches and knife marks

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Kelvindale. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Kelvindale, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
