How we handle worktop repair in Minishant

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for burns from hot pans and chips in quartz or granite, in solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

FAQs for Minishant

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you work in Minishant?

We do. We send a technician to Minishant for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What affects the price in Minishant

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A top that moves on its units

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

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

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price
