You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair granite & marble, solid wood and laminate, and people most often call us about scratches and knife marks and a heat mark or burn.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price worktop repair

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Chelmorton

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Chelmorton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Signs you need worktop repair in Chelmorton

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Clean spills right away

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price
