DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Faverdale?
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. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Use a chopping board
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What we’re called out for in Faverdale

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- A chipped edge
- A damaged sink edge
- Damage from fitting or building work
