Worktop repair in Astwood

How we handle worktop repair in Astwood

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We are frequently asked to fix scorch marks from pans and knife marks, across laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Astwood and across Milton Keynes.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

When to call us in Astwood

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A damaged sink edge

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Astwood, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Astwood

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Astwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price
