Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
About our worktop repair in Atrim
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. If you’re dealing with damage around the sink cut-out and scorch marks from pans, we can generally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Atrim, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Atrim: your questions answered
Do you work in Atrim?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Atrim. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Atrim as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Do you need worktop repair in Atrim?
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 more slowly, from knives and grit.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Scorch marks from pans
- A chipped quartz edge
- Chips on edges and corners
Comparing quotes
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
