Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Hoe questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you work in Hoe?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hoe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  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. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your GU5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When to call us in Hoe

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips near the sink
  • A chipped edge
  • Dents and gouges
  • A heat mark or burn

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
