Laminate chip filled and colour-matched to blend in. Works on worktops, floors, and furniture - much cheaper than replacing damaged laminate.
### That One Chip That Annoys You
Dropped something on the worktop? Furniture scratched the floor? One **chipped bit** catches your eye every single time you walk past. Get it filled and stop noticing it.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Don't leave chips in worktops near sinks - water gets under the laminate and causes the chipboard underneath to swell. Fix it before it gets worse.

### What Makes a Good Repair
The difference between a repair you barely notice and one that looks rubbish is all in the colour match and finish.
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Amateur Job | |--------------|----------------| | Colour carefully matched to laminate | Generic "light brown" filler that doesn't match | | Filled flush and smooth | Proud of surface or recessed | | Edges blended in | Hard line between chip and laminate | | Protected with sealer on worktops | Filler absorbs water and stains |

What to Expect
### Step 1: Colour Match I'll match the filler to your laminate colour as closely as possible. Solid colours are easiest, wood-effect takes more blending. ### Step 2: Fill the Chip Apply filler, build it up slightly proud of the surface. Better to sand back than have it sink as it dries. ### Step 3: Smooth & Finish Once dry, sand flush and smooth. Blend the edges. On worktops, seal it against moisture.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Multiple chips?** Fix them all in one visit. Once I've mixed the colour and got set up, doing extra chips is quick. **Worktop edge really bad?** Sometimes a chip repair isn't enough and you need an edge trim fitting instead. I'll advise honestly if that's a better solution. **Textured laminate?** Harder to match perfectly because of the texture. Still worth doing but set expectations - it'll look better but won't be invisible.
Frequently Asked Questions about Laminate chip repair in Honiton
Can you really make laminate chips invisible?
Not completely invisible - it's a repair, not magic. But with proper colour-matching and filling, it'll be much less noticeable than the chip. From across the room you won't see it, up close you'll spot it if you're looking. Way better than living with a big chip.
What types of laminate can you repair?
Kitchen worktops, laminate flooring, furniture, bathroom surfaces - basically anything with a laminate finish that's got chipped. Best results are on flat surfaces, trickier on textured laminates but still doable.
Do I need to buy special repair materials?
I bring colour-matched filler with me - got a range of common colours and can mix to match. For unusual colours, I might ask you to get a specific repair kit, but I'll advise on exactly what to order.
How long does a laminate chip repair take?
Usually 20-30 minutes including drying time. Small chip? 20 mins. Bigger damage or multiple chips takes longer. I'll apply filler, smooth it flush, and blend it in. Then it needs a few hours to cure fully.
Will the repair last or will it chip again?
Depends where it is. A repair on a worktop edge that gets heavy use might chip again eventually - that's just life. But on a less-used area, repairs can last years. Much better than leaving it to get worse.
