Worktop repair in Maltman's Hill, done in place

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We work on quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are gouges in the surface and chips in quartz or granite.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Maltman's Hill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep wood oiled

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

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

Materials we work on in Maltman's Hill

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Solid surface

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