Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

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

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Questions from Maypole

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. A picture lets us check.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Should you replace it?

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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Maypole customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

When to call us in Maypole

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A chipped edge
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Knife marks

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Maypole use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What affects the price in Maypole

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We do not add 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.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We assess 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. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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