DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

About our worktop repair in Laxton

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. We work on laminate, quartz and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are damage around the sink cut-out and burns from hot pans.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, 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. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Common questions in Laxton

Do you cover Laxton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Laxton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

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

What do you need from me?

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

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.

Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Laxton and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
