Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

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

Your questions about worktop repair in Hough-on-the-Hill

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. A photo lets us check.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
