Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Worktop repair in Lately Common without replacing anything
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Our repair technicians work on quartz, laminate and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage in a new kitchen and a damaged sink edge.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What affects the price in Lately Common
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Lately Common. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Lately Common, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Failed support under the worktop

Materials we repair
- Solid wood

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep wood oiled
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Your questions about worktop repair in Lately Common
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you come to Lately Common?
We do. Technicians travel to Lately Common from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business
- No extra charge for your area

- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
