02 · WHAT I REPAIR
How I repair laminate worktops
Laminate is affordable and popular, but its printed surface is only a thin layer. When it's burnt, chipped or swollen, the repair has to rebuild the surface and recreate the pattern on top.
1. Assessment: I review the damage from your photos.
2. Preparation: damaged material is removed and the area prepared.
3. Rebuild: the area is filled and levelled with the worktop.
4. Pattern: I paint the stone, wood or speckle design back in.
5. Finish: the texture and sheen are matched to the surface.
Avoid repair kits that leave a flat patch of colour. These are all the worktop materials I repair:
Engineered quartz chips on edges and around sinks. I rebuild it with UV resin and match the crystals and colour so the repair blends in.
Natural granite chips and cracks are rebuilt and blended into the flecks and grain of the stone.
Softer marble chips, scratches and etches more easily. I rebuild, refinish and reseal it.
Solid surfaces like Corian can be rebuilt, sanded and refinished for a near-seamless result.

Burns, chips and swollen edges on laminate are rebuilt and colour matched to the printed pattern.
Ultra-compact Dekton can chip under heavy impact. I rebuild and blend the edge with specialist resins.
Common laminate damage I repair
Laminate worktops most often suffer burns from hot pans, chips on edges and corners, and swelling where water has got into joints or around sinks.
I rebuild each damaged area and recreate the pattern by hand. If water damage has gone too far for a lasting repair, I'll tell you honestly.
Chipped edges and corners are rebuilt, then the pattern and colour are painted back in to match.
Burns are cut out and filled, then the printed design is recreated so the burn can no longer be seen.
Cracks and splits in the surface are filled, levelled and colour matched to the pattern around them.
Swollen laminate edges and joints are dried, rebonded, sealed and the pattern painted back in.

03 · PRICE
How much does laminate worktop repair cost?
Laminate repairs start from £195. The price depends on the size and type of damage, and I confirm a fixed price from your photos. It's usually far cheaper than replacing the worktop.
Repair or replace?
Even laminate gets expensive to replace once plumbers, joiners and fitters are involved. A repair avoids all of that.
Replacing a worktop means
✕ Disconnecting and refitting the sink, tap and plumbing
✕ Disconnecting and refitting the hob or cooker
✕ Tiles and splashbacks sealed in above it, often damaged coming off
✕ Removing and disposing of the old worktop
✕ Risk of damaging units, walls and cabinets on removal
✕ Weeks of waiting for templating, cutting and fitting
✕ Dust, mess and a kitchen out of action
It all adds up, in cost and in risk.

04 · WHY ME
Why choose me for laminate repair
Laminate has a printed pattern only a fraction of a millimetre thick, so a good repair comes down to painting that pattern back in by hand. That's where my background as a hyperrealism artist and 20 years of cosmetic surface repair come in. I carry out every laminate repair personally, and I'll tell you honestly from your photos whether swelling or damage can be saved.
✓ Over 20 years specialising in cosmetic surface repairs, with worktops now my sole focus
✓ Hyperrealism artist with the eye to recreate colour, texture and natural finishes
✓ Every repair carried out personally by me from start to finish, never subcontracted
✓ Honest advice before any work begins. If I can't achieve a repair I'd be proud to leave, I'll tell you
What makes an invisible worktop repair?
Laminate is all about the pattern.
Stone, wood and speckle effects are printed onto the surface, so a repair can't just be filled with one colour. The pattern has to be rebuilt over the fill, along with the texture and sheen of the laminate.
As a hyperrealism artist, I paint the design back in by hand, layer by layer.
That's what lets a laminate repair disappear into the worktop.
Colour matching
Every manufacturer uses different pigments, patterns and finishes. I mix colours specifically for your repair rather than relying on off-the-shelf repair kits.
Texture recreation
Smooth worktops are relatively straightforward. Stone-effect laminates, quartz and granite need the original texture and pattern recreated so the repair blends naturally.
