Repairing versus replacing in Bicton

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How we handle worktop repair in Bicton

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Whether it’s a chipped edge and a chipped quartz edge, we can normally put it right, on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and laminate alike.

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

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

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

Your questions about worktop repair in Bicton

Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?

The whole UK, including all of Shropshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Never put hot pans down directly

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Bicton

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Gouges in the surface
  • A chipped edge

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
