How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. 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.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Merridge as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
