About our worktop repair in Barrow upon Soar

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Typical jobs include a chipped edge and scratches and knife marks, in granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Barrow upon Soar

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

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We assess 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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

What affects the price in Barrow upon Soar

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LE12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barrow upon Soar

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
