About our worktop repair in Chelston

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Typical jobs include knife marks and chipped corners, across quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TA21 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Your questions about worktop repair in Chelston

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Somerset.

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 you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Granite and stone

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

Landlord and trade work in Chelston

If you manage property in Chelston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Clean spills immediately

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

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
