Worktop repair for Catmore homes

How we handle worktop repair in Catmore

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. Common call-outs are for scratches and knife marks and snagging damage in a new kitchen, on granite & marble, quartz and laminate.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Use a chopping board
  • Clean spills right away

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Catmore

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Catmore.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Does someone need to be in?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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 typically far better value. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Catmore, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Do you need worktop repair in Catmore?

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Dents and gouges
