How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BS40 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Never put hot pans down directly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Failed support under the worktop
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
What affects the price in Rickford
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
