Should you replace it?
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. 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.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How we price worktop repair

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in Rumford get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Rumford questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Are there extra charges for Rumford?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Re-oil timber worktops
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
