Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Worktop repair at your home in Aber-arad

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, with colour and pattern matched by hand. The worktop stays in place. If you’re dealing with snagging damage in a new kitchen and chipped corners, we can normally put it right, on laminate, quartz and solid wood alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
