Worktop repair for Basted homes

Worktop repair in Basted, done in place

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for dents and gouges and chips caused during installation, across quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Basted as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Basted: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Do you cover Basted?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Basted. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
