Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

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 generally the cheaper route.

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

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. 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.

Your questions about worktop repair in Buckfast

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover Buckfast?

We do. We send a technician to Buckfast for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Common problems we fix in Buckfast

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Chipped corners
  • A dent from a dropped pan

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
