DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Surrey and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Headley, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to compare quotes

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
