How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

What we are called out for in Launceston

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A heat mark or burn

  • Damage to a stone worktop

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Launceston use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Launceston

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Do you come to Launceston?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Launceston. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will the price change on the day?

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

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Launceston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
