Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Worktop repair in Thorp Arch, done in place

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new kitchen and gouges in the surface, on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

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. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we cannot put right

Thorp Arch: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Thorp Arch, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
