Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in Silverknowes
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks frequently begin.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Burns from hot pans
- Dents and gouges
- Chips on edges and corners
- Damage to a stone worktop
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Silverknowes questions
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you cover Silverknowes?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Silverknowes. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Silverknowes?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep wood oiled
- Use a chopping board
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Should you replace it?
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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Silverknowes. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
