What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What else we do in St James South Elmham
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Use a chopping board
- Clean spills straight away
- Dry around the sink and joints
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
