What we are called out for in St Johns
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Chips caused during installation
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- A damaged sink edge

Worktop repair in St Johns, done in place
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We regularly repair laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and the jobs we see most are a dent from a dropped pan and snagging damage in a new kitchen.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use a chopping board
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material

Landlord and trade work in St Johns
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Johns use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
