Repairing versus replacing in Salem
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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Take a look at our pricing.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Salem. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Signs you need worktop repair in Salem
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A heat mark or burn
- Scratches and knife marks
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- A chipped quartz edge
Before booking anyone
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Salem: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use a chopping board
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Dry around the sink and joints
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
