What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Most clients in Osmaston get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Osmaston

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. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
