Worktop repair in Scratby without replacing anything
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Whether it’s scratches and knife marks and damage around the sink cut-out, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

When we’d advise against a repair

- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Water-swollen laminate
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the price in Scratby
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Scratby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Scratby, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
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 will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Scratby
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Scorch marks from pans
- Damage around the sink cut-out
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Re-oil timber worktops
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
