DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common questions in Little Houghton
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.

What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Never put hot pans down directly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
