Craftsmanship That Saves Sales

In the Sydney property market, a damaged kitchen can be a deal-breaker. Our 'Restoration over Replacement' philosophy ensures that high-end finishes are preserved without the logistical nightmare of a full kitchen overhaul.

At Refinish.com.au, we combine technical precision with artistic skill to deliver an invisible result that stands up to the closest inspection.

The Crisis of a Scorched Benchtop

A Pyrmont real estate agent faced an urgent issue: a hot pot had left a deep burn on the laminate benchtop just 24 hours before a scheduled open home.

  • Severe delamination and charring of the laminate surface.
  • Impossible lead times (3+ weeks) for a full benchtop replacement.
  • The risk of devaluing the property during a critical sales campaign.
  • Matching a complex, textured dark finish under bright, natural harbour-side light.

Our Proven Restoration Process

Step 1: Structural Repair - We meticulously removed the damaged carbonised material and rebuilt the surface using heat-stable polymers.

Step 2: On-site Colour Blending - Using the apartment's natural light, we custom-blended pigments to achieve a 100% colour match for this kitchen benchtop repair.

Step 3: Hand-painted Grain Matching - Our artisan hand-painted the micro-details of the laminate pattern to break up the repair's silhouette.

Step 4: Invisible Finishing - Our artisan hand-painted the micro-details of the pattern to ensure a seamless laminate benchtop repair.


Project Summary: Pyrmont Kitchen Restoration

This project in Pyrmont, Sydney, highlights the extreme cost-saving and time-saving benefits of our professional benchtop repair service. When a real estate agent discovered a severe burn on a kitchen benchtop, they were quoted thousands for a replacement and told it would take weeks to install.

Refinish.com.au stepped in and completed an invisible repair in just half a day. By utilizing on-site colour blending and hand-painted grain matching, we restored the laminate benchtop repair to a condition that was indistinguishable from the original surface. This allowed the property to go to market on time, maintaining its full value and saving the vendor from unnecessary expenditure and stress.
