How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Handbridge use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Flintshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
