Worktop repair in Brough, 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. If you’re dealing with chips caused during installation and dents and gouges, we can generally put it right, on solid wood, quartz and laminate alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Brough as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Brough questions

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Do you work in Brough?

We do. Technicians travel to Brough from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. 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. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

What we can’t put right

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

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
