What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not leave spills to soak in

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Abercregan, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
