- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
What affects the price in Pimlico
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a chopping board
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Dry around the sink and joints
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Signs you need worktop repair in Pimlico
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Scorch marks from pans
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- A chipped edge
- Chips near the sink
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
