Repair or replace in Forgeside?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Use a chopping board

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Signs you need worktop repair in Forgeside

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Forgeside questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NP4 postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Forgeside. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
