Why repair rather than replace?

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. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Worktop repair at your home in Catton

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. If you are dealing with a chipped quartz edge and dents and gouges, we can normally put it right, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Catton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Catton: your questions answered

Do you cover Catton?

We do. Technicians travel to Catton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

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

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Solid surface

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