Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Wipe up spills quickly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Signs you need worktop repair in Old Heath
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Common reasons people in Old Heath contact us are:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Scorch marks from pans
- Chips in quartz or granite
Before you book anyone

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Heath use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repairs by material
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Old Heath: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
