Should you replace it?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Keep wood oiled

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

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

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

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

Materials we work on in Nimble Nook

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

FAQs for Nimble Nook

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Are you accredited?

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

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work in Nimble Nook?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Nimble Nook from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  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. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Advice

What affects the price in Nimble Nook

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Nimble Nook. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

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

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in Nimble Nook and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Nimble Nook

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
