Aftercare tips

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

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Clean spills right away
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep wood oiled

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Solid surface

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we’re called out for in Coulby Newham

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A chipped edge
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

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

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
