Worktop repair near Shipton

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Do you need worktop repair in Shipton?

Edges and corners chip most often, usually from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A chipped edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

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

Shipton: your questions answered

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Usually. Send us a picture and we will tell you what’s possible.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Water-swollen laminate

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
