What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Croy. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Croy, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need worktop repair in Croy?

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A chipped edge
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Dents and gouges

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

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

Croy: your questions answered

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Croy. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
