Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Worktop repair in Sorn, done in place
We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and the jobs we see most are scorch marks from pans and chipped corners.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Repair or replace in Sorn?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What affects the price in Sorn
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

More services for Sorn
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Sorn questions
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we will tell you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
How much does worktop repair cost in Sorn?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
