Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Worktop repair in Calenick, done in place

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We work on solid wood, quartz and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are damage from fitting or building work and a damaged sink edge.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Calenick

  • Quartz

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

FAQs for Calenick

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Do you come to Calenick?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Calenick from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
