Worktop repair in Castle Cary

How we handle worktop repair in Castle Cary

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. If you’re dealing with burns from hot pans and knife marks, we can usually put it right, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use a chopping board

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Castle Cary

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped edge
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Comparing quotes

  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Castle Cary

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
