Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Solid surface

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common problems we fix in Colney Heath

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Colney Heath, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about worktop repair in Colney Heath

Is it messy?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Are there extra charges for Colney Heath?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

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

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