Worktop repair in Paradise without replacing anything
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We’re often asked to fix a dent from a dropped pan and scratches and knife marks, on solid wood, granite & marble and laminate.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Paradise
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Paradise, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Paradise
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Failed support under the worktop
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
