Repairing versus replacing in North Ockendon
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Signs you need worktop repair in North Ockendon
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Chips on edges and corners
- A heat mark or burn
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a chopping board
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What your worktop is made of matters
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. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take 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.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
