Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Solid surface

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

Worktop repair in Coulsdon, done in place

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our technicians work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are dents and gouges and burns from hot pans.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

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

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

FAQs for Coulsdon

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a photo and we will tell you what’s possible.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
