Worktop repair for Cattedown homes

About our worktop repair in Cattedown

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Our technicians work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on edges and corners and burns from hot pans.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cattedown and across Plymouth.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Honest limits

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

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What worktop repair costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Cattedown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
