Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Signs you need worktop repair in Ottinge

- Scorch marks from pans
- Chips caused during installation
- Dents and gouges
- Chips on edges and corners
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended

What affects the price in Ottinge
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
