Trusted worktop repair in Minnigaff

Should you replace it?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Minnigaff. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Minnigaff

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Minnigaff

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.
