Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
