DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When to call us in Whitchurch Hill
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips frequently start there.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Chips on edges and corners
- A damaged sink edge

Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Whitchurch Hill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Keep wood oiled
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
