Need worktop repair in Atherington?

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common questions in Atherington

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Generally. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Do you come to Atherington?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Atherington. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop

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

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Atherington as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Atherington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Granite and stone

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

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price worktop repair

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

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
