Worktop repair near Appledore

How we handle worktop repair in Appledore

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We work on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about a heat mark or burn and damage from fitting or building work.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

How much does worktop repair cost in Appledore?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
