Worktop repair for Chilgrove homes

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Worktop repair in Chilgrove, done in place

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from fitting or building work and a chipped edge, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

FAQs for Chilgrove

What information do you need?

Do you come to Chilgrove?

Why repair rather than replace?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Chilgrove. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Chilgrove

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Knife marks
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

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

Laminate

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

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units

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