Worktop repair near Comberton

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

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

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

What we are called out for in Comberton

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Knife marks
  • Gouges in the surface
  • A chipped quartz edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
