DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 photos.

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Signs you need worktop repair in East Kyo

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chips caused during installation

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

East Kyo: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How soon can you come?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

Surfaces we repair
