How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Use a chopping board
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to New Eltham. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for New Eltham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
