What affects the price in Albany
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Albany. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Clean spills right away
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Never put hot pans down directly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
