Worktop Repair in West Berkshire

Our worktop repair service in West Berkshire

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. We repair them all in your kitchen. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood, and people most often call us about gouges in the surface and chips on edges and corners.

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

What you will pay

Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How the damage happens

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A chipped edge
