DIY kit or professional repair?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How we handle worktop repair in Ripe
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. If you are dealing with gouges in the surface and chips on edges and corners, we can normally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ripe, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Common questions in Ripe
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture and we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?

What areas do you cover?

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Do you come to Ripe?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ripe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use a chopping board
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
