When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes cost nothing and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in East Carlton

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Older homes around East Carlton may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. Repairing avoids those problems.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Landlord and trade work in East Carlton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need worktop repair in East Carlton?

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A chipped edge

If you let a flat or house near Corby station (about 3.7 miles east), we repair worktops between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean spills right away
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep wood oiled

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
