Laminate

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

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Worktop repair at your home in Appleton

We repair worktops in place. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We work on solid wood, granite & marble and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are chips near the sink and gouges in the surface.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Clean spills right away

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

FAQs for Appleton

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Appleton included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually. A picture lets us check.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work in Appleton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Appleton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
