Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we handle worktop repair in Anderson

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. We are often asked to fix damage to a stone worktop and scratches and knife marks, in solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in Anderson get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Your questions about worktop repair in Anderson

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you work in Anderson?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Anderson for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Anderson

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Anderson use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
