Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A cracked stone top that is 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
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, 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 worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HP1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
