Worktop repair in Basford

About our worktop repair in Basford

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Our technicians work on granite & marble, quartz and laminate, and the jobs we see most are a heat mark or burn and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Basford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Basford

For anyone letting property in or around Basford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Do you need worktop repair in Basford?

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Knife marks
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A damaged sink edge

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Common questions in Basford

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Usually. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
