Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:

- Keep wood oiled

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Common questions in St Mary's
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you work in St Mary's?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to St Mary's for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

What we do, step by step

- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
