About our worktop repair in Smelthouses
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Our repair technicians work on laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about burns from hot pans and a chipped edge.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Smelthouses
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Smelthouses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
