About our worktop repair in Elmstead
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We regularly repair laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are cuts and scratches in the surface and a chipped quartz edge.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep wood oiled
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Elmstead
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elmstead as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
