For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Wipe up spills quickly
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole worktop
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Newnham
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Generally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
