Do you need worktop repair in Roughdown?
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Gouges in the surface
- Chips caused during installation
- A damaged sink edge
- Scorch marks from pans

How we handle worktop repair in Roughdown
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Whether it’s scratches and knife marks and chips caused during installation, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire worktop
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in Roughdown get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Roughdown: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Keep wood oiled
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Landlord and trade work in Roughdown
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Roughdown use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
