About our worktop repair in Alton Barnes

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Whether it’s burns from hot pans and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Alton Barnes and across Wiltshire.

Questions from Alton Barnes

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Wiltshire.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

10 questions to ask before booking

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Use a chopping board
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

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

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Landlord and trade work in Alton Barnes

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alton Barnes as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
