Worktop repair in Ashwell without replacing anything

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. Common call-outs are for damage from fitting or building work and a damaged sink edge, in solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Dry around the sink and joints

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

FAQs for Ashwell

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Ashwell

The worst damage often 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.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chips near the sink

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Quartz

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Water-swollen laminate

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
