Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Our hiring checklist

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
