We’re frequently asked to fix chipped corners and scorch marks from pans, across solid wood, laminate and granite & marble.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Southend-on-Sea.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Laminate
  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz
