Worktop repair near Buckland Hollow

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Worktop repair in Buckland Hollow, done in place

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, with colour and pattern matched by hand. Nothing is taken out. Our repair technicians work on quartz, laminate and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about a chipped edge and cuts and scratches in the surface.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Burns from hot pans
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Chips caused during installation

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What affects the price in Buckland Hollow

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Buckland Hollow. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DE56 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
