Repairs by material

Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
About our worktop repair in Sandford
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair quartz, granite & marble and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from fitting or building work and chips near the sink.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Sandford
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you’re in Sandford and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Sandford
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Re-oil timber worktops
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
