DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material

Laminate

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

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Thornton-le-Clay: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Thornton-le-Clay.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Do you need worktop repair in Thornton-le-Clay?

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
