When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Clean spills right away

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
