About our worktop repair in Smith's End

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We work on laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are damage around the sink cut-out and dents and gouges.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Smith's End get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Failed support under the worktop

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Smith's End

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

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Signs you need worktop repair in Smith's End

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chipped corners
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chips near the sink

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
