DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

Worktop repair in Covesea, done in place

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We work on solid wood, quartz and laminate, and the jobs we see most are a damaged sink edge and scratches and knife marks.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Clean spills right away

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

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

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Your questions about worktop repair in Covesea

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
