Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Barfrestone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

FAQs for Barfrestone

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

What we work on
