Worktop repair in Canford Cliffs

How we handle worktop repair in Canford Cliffs

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for burns from hot pans and snagging damage in a new kitchen, on solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use a chopping board
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

What affects the price in Canford Cliffs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Canford Cliffs, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

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.
