Different materials, different repairs

Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Aldham questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Aldham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need worktop repair in Aldham
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Chips near the sink
- A chipped quartz edge
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Knife marks
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Wipe up spills quickly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
