How the visit works

- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
How to prepare

Advice
Repair or replace in Skelton?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. 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.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything
- Colour-matched on site
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A top that moves on its units
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz
