About our worktop repair in Laughton

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. If you are dealing with a heat mark or burn and chips near the sink, we can generally put it right, on quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Laughton

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Scratches and knife marks

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Laughton

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Laughton. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

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.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job without visiting.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
