Should you replace it?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Alciston

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that is where cracks frequently begin.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A damaged sink edge

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before booking

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Alciston. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Alciston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Alciston get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Alciston

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alciston

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
