Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Water-swollen laminate

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to St Ives. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for St Ives. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

FAQs for St Ives
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?
Across the UK, and that includes St Ives. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Landlord and trade work in St Ives
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Ives use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
