About our worktop repair in Bower Heath

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. We regularly repair laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are a dent from a dropped pan and damage from fitting or building work.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bower Heath and across Hertfordshire.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Bower Heath

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Typically. Send us a photo and we will tell you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Bower Heath.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Clean spills immediately

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Do you need worktop repair in Bower Heath?

Edges and corners chip most frequently, often when something heavy catches the edge.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Chips caused during installation
  • A dent from a dropped pan

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bower Heath

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
