DIY kit or professional repair?

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. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

FAQs for Barkestone-le-Vale

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How much does worktop repair cost in Barkestone-le-Vale?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NG13 postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A top that moves on its units

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Wood

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Use a chopping board
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price
