DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need worktop repair in Laxdale?
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

- A chipped quartz edge

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep wood oiled
- Use a chopping board
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Laxdale questions
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Normally. A picture lets us check.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
