Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Great Barton

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

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

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Barton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Barton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Great Barton. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
