How we handle worktop repair in Brooksbottoms

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. We’re often asked to fix dents and gouges and a heat mark or burn, in solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and laminate.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Brooksbottoms. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Brooksbottoms

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

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

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.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Granite and stone

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

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brooksbottoms

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

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