How we handle worktop repair in Ashley

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and people most often call us about chips near the sink and knife marks.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ashley. The price comes down to:

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

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Ashley, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

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

Signs you need worktop repair in Ashley

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Scratches and knife marks

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions in Ashley

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What does worktop repair cost?

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

Which areas do you work in?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Generally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
