DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Criggion

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Criggion, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our prices page.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re 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. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Common questions in Criggion

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
