Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Stainton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Stainton. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire worktop
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TS8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Stainton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Clean spills immediately
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
