What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oakthorpe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use a chopping board
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
