About our worktop repair in Charlton Horethorne

We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate, and people most often call us about a dent from a dropped pan and burns from hot pans.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep wood oiled

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Solid surface

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Charlton Horethorne. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging 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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Your questions about worktop repair in Charlton Horethorne

Can landlords book you?

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed price.
