How we handle worktop repair in Silstwn
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you are dealing with a dent from a dropped pan and knife marks, we can generally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Silstwn
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Silstwn. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Landlord and trade work in Silstwn
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
