Worktop repair near Catslip

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Worktop repair in Catslip without replacing anything

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, with colour and pattern matched by hand. Nothing is taken out. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new kitchen and damage around the sink cut-out, in granite & marble, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Catslip

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Catslip

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Catslip?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RG9 postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

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

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

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

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need worktop repair in Catslip

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.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A chipped edge
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chips caused during installation

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
