Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Your questions about worktop repair in Amwell

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

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.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Amwell. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you need worktop repair in Amwell?

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Knife marks
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Amwell

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Amwell. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole worktop

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

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

Materials we work on in Amwell

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

What happens on the day

We turn 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. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
