DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

About our worktop repair in Asterley

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new kitchen and a heat mark or burn, on solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Asterley: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
