What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Work done at your home or business

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Hamsey

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Chips near the sink

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Clean spills right away

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
