How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for South Milton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep wood oiled

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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 the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in South Milton, 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.
