Littleham questions
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you cover Littleham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Littleham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you match granite flecks?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Keep wood oiled
- Do not let water sit on joints
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Failed support under the worktop
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Littleham. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
