Worktop repair for Balmer Heath homes

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How to compare quotes

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Balmer Heath

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How much does worktop repair cost in Balmer Heath?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Balmer Heath

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • 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.

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Granite and stone

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