Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Questions from Little Thurlow Green

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, often. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Repairs by material

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

What affects the price in Little Thurlow Green

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you are in Little Thurlow Green and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

When to call us in Little Thurlow Green

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Little Thurlow Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
