Should you replace it?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Windmill Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Windmill Hill questions

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Materials we repair

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
