About our worktop repair in Barlaston

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Typical jobs include a damaged sink edge and scorch marks from pans, on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairing versus replacing in Barlaston

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
