Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Catherington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep wood oiled

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Catherington, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Catherington questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Common problems we fix in Catherington

Most chips are on edges and corners, usually from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

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

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Landlord and trade work in Catherington

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
