Worktop repair in Somerford, done in place
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. We regularly repair solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and people most often call us about a chipped quartz edge and damage from fitting or building work.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Clean spills right away
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Dry around the sink and joints
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Somerford, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
