Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Repairs by material

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Common questions in Morebath

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Morebath

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Knife marks
  • Chips on edges and corners

10 questions to ask before booking

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

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

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire worktop

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
