Repairing versus replacing in Filkins
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
