What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ML11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Forth: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Forth

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should you replace it?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
