What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Clean spills right away
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What we’re called out for in Hanley

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A chipped edge
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Scratches and knife marks

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Hanley?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hanley, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Hanley questions

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there any odour?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Hanley.
