Chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops in Raffles, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches and knife marks

Can I fix it myself?
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 generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
About our worktop repair in Raffles
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Typical jobs include chipped corners and chips caused during installation, on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Keep wood oiled
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A top that moves on its units
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Questions from Raffles
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
