Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Wipe up spills quickly
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Should you replace it?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
