Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Compton

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Compton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
