When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When to call us in Surrex

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
