Worktop repair at your home in Ashbocking

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage in a new kitchen and a chipped quartz edge.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ashbocking and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Ashbocking

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

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ashbocking. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Take a look at our full price list.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
