About our worktop repair in London Apprentice
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are burns from hot pans and cuts and scratches in the surface.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in London Apprentice and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
London Apprentice questions
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are there extra charges for London Apprentice?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Repairing versus replacing in London Apprentice
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. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
