DIY kit or professional repair?
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 typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Questions from Poynders End
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.
Do you come to Poynders End?
We do. We send a technician to Poynders End for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When to call us in Poynders End
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Knife marks
- A dent from a dropped pan
- A heat mark or burn
- A chipped edge
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use a chopping board
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire worktop
