Common problems we fix in Portland
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips caused during installation
- Scorch marks from pans
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Scratches and knife marks
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Your questions about worktop repair in Portland
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Generally. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

What affects the price in Portland
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Use a chopping board
- Never put hot pans down directly
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portland as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
