Worktop repair near Burton End

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

If you’re in Burton End and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered 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. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job without visiting.

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
