When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  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. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Repairs by material

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

What worktop repair costs

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DT7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK
