Need worktop repair in Barton?

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

How we handle worktop repair in Barton

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. If you are dealing with a dent from a dropped pan and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can normally put it right, on laminate, granite & marble and quartz alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What affects the price in Barton

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

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.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
