Worktop repair for Ayston homes

About our worktop repair in Ayston

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for chips on edges and corners and scratches and knife marks, across solid wood, quartz and granite & marble.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ayston

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you need worktop repair in Ayston?

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Look out for these signs:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chipped corners
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips caused during installation

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Ayston questions

Are there extra charges for Ayston?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover the entire of Rutland?

Everywhere in the UK, Ayston included. Travel is included in the price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

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

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
