Worktop Repair for Overtown homes
Our repair technicians come to Overtown for chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Dents and gouges
- Damage from fitting or building work
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Worktop repair in Overtown without replacing anything
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include damage around the sink cut-out and snagging damage in a new kitchen, across laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian).
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Overtown
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep wood oiled
- Clean spills right away
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Do not let water sit on joints
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
