Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Common problems we fix in Storrs
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Chips near the sink
- Damage to a stone worktop

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common questions in Storrs
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Storrs included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Storrs. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
