When to call us in Rickarton
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

- Gouges in the surface

What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rickarton. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
