What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you don’t 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.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about worktop repair in St Margarets
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
