Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Outer Hope
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Your questions about worktop repair in Outer Hope
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
