How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place

  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
