Worktop repair in Little Tey without replacing anything
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Our technicians work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new kitchen and chips on edges and corners.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Use a chopping board
- Dry around the sink and joints
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Tey
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Tey as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Little Tey. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Your questions about worktop repair in Little Tey
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. A picture lets us check.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Do you need worktop repair in Little Tey?
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

- A chipped edge
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Chips near the sink
- Knife marks
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
