Worktop repair in Barrow Hill without replacing anything
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. We are often asked to fix snagging damage in a new kitchen and cuts and scratches in the surface, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.

FAQs for Barrow Hill
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
