Worktop repair for Chilcompton homes

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Water-swollen laminate

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

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Chilcompton

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips in quartz or granite

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chilcompton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

FAQs for Chilcompton

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Chilcompton and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.

  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
