Worktop repair near Combe

About our worktop repair in Combe

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Typical jobs include chips near the sink and chips caused during installation, in laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Combe. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

When to call us in Combe

Edges and corners chip most often, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Scorch marks from pans

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Combe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions about worktop repair in Combe

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. A photo lets us check.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
