What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

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

Laminate

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Babraham

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to care for the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Babraham

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Babraham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Babraham questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

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

How much does worktop repair cost in Babraham?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
