How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What we are called out for in Abbey Dore

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips caused during installation
  • A chipped quartz edge

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abbey Dore use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Abbey Dore, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything

Questions from Abbey Dore

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Abbey Dore?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
