DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Whether it’s scorch marks from pans and a damaged sink edge, we can help.

What else we do in Starbeck
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
Most customers in Starbeck get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
