Worktop repair in Ash Cross

Worktop repair in Ash Cross without replacing anything

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Common call-outs are for chips caused during installation and cuts and scratches in the surface, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Ash Cross

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ash Cross

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Ash Cross: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it 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. 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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
