About our worktop repair in Castle

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. If you are dealing with a dent from a dropped pan and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can typically put it right, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Castle

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

When can you do it?
