DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace in Lee Mill?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Lee Mill

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

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

When to call us in Lee Mill

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chipped corners

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
