How to care for the repair

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

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Handsworth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by checking 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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Handsworth. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
