Worktop repair in Aldbrough St John, done in place

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are chipped corners and a heat mark or burn.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Aldbrough St John. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
