About our worktop repair in New Zealand
Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are chips in quartz or granite and chips on edges and corners.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in New Zealand, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Common questions in New Zealand
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Normally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
