DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Layham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep joints and edges dry
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Lower Layham questions
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
