The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
What affects the price in West Hougham
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Hougham
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
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?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
