Worktop repair in Chieveley, done in place

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged sink edge and a heat mark or burn.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

FAQs for Chieveley

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally. A photo lets us check.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Chieveley, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
