What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
When to call us in Middle Herrington
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A damaged sink edge
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Dents and gouges
- Chipped corners
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to look after the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
Repairs by material
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Before we arrive
