Worktop repair in Lake, Isle of Wight
Chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops in Lake, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Scorch marks from pans
- Chips caused during installation
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use a chopping board
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lake. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lake, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

Questions from Lake
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover Lake?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Lake. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lake. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
