Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Matching. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What else we do in Matching
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Do you need worktop repair in Matching?
Edges and corners chip most frequently, often when something heavy catches the edge.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Burns from hot pans
- Gouges in the surface
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Damage around the sink cut-out
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Clean spills right away
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
