Worktop repair in Bun Othan

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • The material, if you know it

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

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Bun Othan?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our full price list.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Questions from Bun Othan

When can you do it?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do the materials smell?

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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