Why repair rather than replace?

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. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything

Questions from Horne

Do you come to Horne?

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

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Signs you need worktop repair in Horne

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  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. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Horne

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

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

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
