Advice
What we are called out for in Silloth
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage from fitting or building work
- A chipped edge
- Gouges in the surface
- Scorch marks from pans
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What else we do in Silloth
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
