Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Play Hatch use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Reading and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Play Hatch and the rest of Reading. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Play Hatch?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your RG4 postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work in Play Hatch?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Play Hatch. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
See our prices page.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RG4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
