Worktop repair near Ardwell

Worktop repair in Ardwell, done in place

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Our repair technicians work on quartz, granite & marble and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are scratches and knife marks and a heat mark or burn.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ardwell

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Ardwell, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

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

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Ardwell customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Read our prices page.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need worktop repair in Ardwell?

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Chipped corners

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
