Worktop repair at your home in Laughton

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We regularly repair laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and common reasons people contact us are burns from hot pans and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

Keep a trivet by the hob
Take care with heavy pans near edges
Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Don’t leave spills to soak in

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Laughton: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you cover Laughton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Laughton and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repair or replace in Laughton?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
