FAQs for Symbister
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a chopping board
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Clean spills immediately
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Repair or replace in Symbister?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A top that moves on its units
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
