How we handle worktop repair in Chilworth

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Typical jobs include chips on edges and corners and chips caused during installation, in laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chilworth

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Questions from Chilworth

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Are there extra charges for Chilworth?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover Chilworth?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Chilworth. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price worktop repair

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
