Worktop repair near Benslow

Worktop repair in Benslow without replacing anything

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage in a new kitchen and cuts and scratches in the surface.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Clean spills right away
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Should you replace it?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Materials we repair

  • Quartz
  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Landlords, agents and businesses in Benslow

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
