DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Questions from Hollingbourne

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

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

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Wipe up spills quickly

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
