What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

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

Solid surface

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

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Colne. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

The price 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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Re-oil timber worktops

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.

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
