About our worktop repair in Leicester
We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, matching the colour and pattern by hand. The worktop stays in place. If you are dealing with chips caused during installation and a chipped edge, we can usually put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Leicester and the surrounding area.
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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
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. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Common questions in Leicester
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Leicester.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep wood oiled
- Clean spills straight away
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
For anyone letting property in or around Leicester, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
