We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, matching the colour and pattern by hand. Nothing is taken out. We regularly repair laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about scorch marks from pans and gouges in the surface.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Smalldale. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Landlords, agents and businesses in Smalldale

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: 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. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
