Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 usually cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
For anyone letting property in or around Flimby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
FAQs for Flimby
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What affects the price in Flimby
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire worktop
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
