Worktop repair at your home in Barkston

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Typical jobs include chips on edges and corners and damage from fitting or building work, across solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate.

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

What affects the price in Barkston

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

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 work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barkston as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use a chopping board

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.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  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 with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
