Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Common problems we fix in Wivenhoe Cross
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chipped corners
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chips near the sink
- Damage from fitting or building work
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Your questions about worktop repair in Wivenhoe Cross
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Wivenhoe Cross. Prices do not change with location.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you match granite flecks?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Water-swollen laminate
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Wivenhoe Cross
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wivenhoe Cross. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
