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.

Solid surface

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

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Westwood

Edges and corners chip most frequently, often when something heavy catches the edge.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Knife marks

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Do you cover the entire of Oldham?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westwood use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
