DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Prestongrange

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

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

Granite and stone

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

Repairing versus replacing in Prestongrange

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What worktop repair costs

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean spills right away
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
