DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Clean spills right away
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Farnworth questions

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos 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

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed price.
