What we do, step by step

- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Nunhead
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Use a chopping board
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Nunhead questions
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
