Repairs by material

Solid surface

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

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Never put hot pans down directly

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What affects the price in Baldock

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Baldock 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Baldock. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
