Not sure what your surface is?

Scratch, Dent & Chip Repairs

Most people contact us with a photograph of one damaged spot rather than a technical description of the material. That is completely fine. This page is the general route in: send the damage, and we will identify the surface and tell you whether a localised repair is suitable.

Scratches, dents and chips are the three most common types of damage we see, and they turn up on worktops, baths, trays, tiles, frames, doors, panels and cabinetry. Once we know what the surface is, we point you to the right specialist service — or tell you plainly if replacement is the better answer.

Scope

What we repair

  • Scratches, scores and scuffing on suitable hard surfaces
  • Impact dents and crushed sections where the substrate is sound
  • Chips to edges, corners, profiles and faces
  • Worktops, upstands, splashbacks and counters
  • Baths, shower trays, sinks and sanitaryware
  • Doors, frames, cills, trims, panels and cabinetry
  • Single damaged areas found during snagging or handover

Damage

Typical damage we see

  • Dropped tools, pans, bottles or fittings
  • Furniture, trolley and delivery knocks
  • Cleaning and daily-use abrasion in high-traffic areas
  • Drill, fixing and appliance-change damage
  • Trade and transit damage on construction and fit-out sites
  • Isolated marks that stand out on an otherwise sound surface

How it works

Our repair process

  1. 01

    Assessment

    You send a close photograph of the damage and a wider shot of the whole surface. We identify the material as far as photographs allow and confirm whether a localised repair is suitable.

  2. 02

    Preparation

    On site the surface is checked in daylight, the surrounding area is masked and protected, and loose or contaminated material is cut back to a sound edge.

  3. 03

    Repair

    Depending on the material and the damage, the area is filled, rebuilt in layers, dressed back or polished to restore the shape and line of the surface.

  4. 04

    Finish

    Colour, sheen and texture are matched to the surrounding surface as closely as the materials allow so the repair blends into its setting.

  5. 05

    Inspection

    The finished repair is checked with you in natural light, the work area is left clean, and we explain curing time and aftercare before normal use resumes.

Honest advice

Suitability and limitations

Every surface is assessed before work is agreed. Where a repair is not the right long-term answer, we will say so.

  • Not every material can be repaired. Some surfaces, finishes and damage types are better replaced, and we will say so.
  • Damage caused by water ingress, movement or a failing substrate needs that cause addressing first.
  • Widespread wear across a whole surface is a refinishing or replacement decision rather than a localised repair.
  • High-gloss, mirrored and heavily patterned finishes are harder to match, and we will flag that before starting.
  • A repair is a close blend, not an invisible one.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

I do not know what my surface is made of. Can you still help?

Yes — that is exactly what this page is for. Send a close photograph of the damage and a wider shot of the surface, and we will identify it as far as possible and confirm whether a repair is suitable.

Which surfaces do you repair scratches and chips on?

A wide range of suitable hard surfaces, including worktops, baths, shower trays, sinks, tiles, uPVC frames and cills, doors, panels and cabinetry. Suitability is always assessed first.

Will the scratch or chip disappear completely?

No repair is invisible. We match colour, sheen and texture as closely as the materials allow so the damage becomes far less noticeable and the surface is sound to use again.

Can several small repairs be done in one visit?

Often, yes. Grouping damage into one visit is common in homes being sold, properties between tenancies and plots at snagging stage. Send photographs of everything you would like looked at.
