How we handle worktop repair in Pakenham
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for a chipped edge and a dent from a dropped pan, across solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Pakenham

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pakenham
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean spills right away
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use a chopping board
- Keep wood oiled
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Repairing versus replacing in Pakenham
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Water-swollen laminate
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
