Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Higher Walton

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How we price worktop repair

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you are in Higher Walton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
