About our worktop repair in Carberry

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. If you’re dealing with cuts and scratches in the surface and a chipped edge, we can usually put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Carberry

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is my repair covered?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Carberry

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Common problems we fix in Carberry

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chipped corners
  • Knife marks
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Scorch marks from pans

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
