What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How the visit works

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
