What we do
What we work on
Scratches vary in depth, width and surface material — each requires a specific approach. Our technicians assess the damage, select the right repair method and restore the surface to the highest achievable standard.
Worktops & Surfaces
Scratches on laminate, stone, quartz and solid surface worktops — from knife marks and everyday abrasion to deep impact scratches.
Joinery & Timber
Scratched skirting boards, architraves, doors and timber furniture. We restore the finish to match the original sheen and grain.
Flooring
Scratched laminate, engineered and solid wood flooring. We assess depth and select the best method — from buffing to full surface repair.
Metal & Steel
Scratched stainless steel, brushed aluminium and powder-coated metal surfaces. We restore the directional finish or colour to match exactly.
Glass & Glazing
Surface scratches on toughened and laminated glass panels, shower screens and balustrades — polished to reduce or eliminate the damage.
Painted Surfaces
Scratched walls, doors and painted furniture — paint colour and sheen matched to make the repair invisible from any distance.
Common issues
How We Repair Scratches
We don’t just “fill and paint”.
Each repair is carried out properly to ensure durability and finish:
1. Assessment & Preparation
We assess the scratch depth, surface type and finish to determine the correct repair method — whether polishing, filling, or a combination approach.
2. Surface Restoration
Depending on the surface, we use specialist compounds, fillers or refinishing techniques to restore the profile of the original material.
3. Colour Match & Finishing
The repaired area is colour matched, textured and finished to blend with the surrounding surface — including sheen level and grain pattern where applicable.
The goal is simply to make the damage disappear under normal viewing conditions.

FAQ
FAQ
How long does a scratch repair take?
Most scratch repairs are completed within a few hours on the same visit. Multiple repairs can often be addressed in a single session.
Can you assess the damage from photos?
In most cases, yes. Our technicians can assess damage from photos and advise whether repair is suitable before booking.
Is repair cheaper than replacement?
Yes — scratch repairs are typically a fraction of the cost of replacing a worktop, door, floor or piece of furniture.
Will the repair be visible?
In many cases the repair is undetectable under normal conditions. We will always advise honestly if a surface cannot be fully restored.
