Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How we handle worktop repair in Magham Down
Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, with colour and pattern matched by hand. The worktop stays in place. Our technicians work on quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are chipped corners and scorch marks from pans.
In a village like Magham Down, kitchens in older homes often have character worth keeping. A repair keeps the original look.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What affects the price in Magham Down
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When to call us in Magham Down
Most chips are on edges and corners, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips near the sink
Landlords with property near Polegate station (about 4.5 miles south-west) use us between tenancies, so worktops are repaired rather than replaced.
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Should you replace it?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. In an older home in a village like Magham Down, replacing a worktop can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
