When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  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. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
