How we handle worktop repair in Chetnole

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. Common call-outs are for a heat mark or burn and a dent from a dropped pan, on solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chetnole. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units

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

What we work on

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

FAQs for Chetnole

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use a chopping board
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

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

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

  • Scratches and knife marks

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
