Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Use a chopping board
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

When to call us in Chapmore End

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Dents and gouges
  • A chipped edge
  • Chips near the sink
  • Burns from hot pans

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chapmore End

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Your questions about worktop repair in Chapmore End

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Chapmore End?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
