Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take 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.
- 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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Solid wood

Questions from Woodland
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What we are called out for in Woodland
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
Look out for these signs:
- Chipped corners
- Scorch marks from pans
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Chips near the sink
Comparing quotes
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep wood oiled
- Dry around the sink and joints
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
