Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Common questions in Sandford
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Generally. Send us a picture and we will tell you what’s possible.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Sandford

- Gouges in the surface
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Chips on edges and corners
- Scorch marks from pans
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep wood oiled
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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 generally the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Sandford
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. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
