Worktop repair in Compstall

Worktop repair at your home in Compstall

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix cuts and scratches in the surface and chips in quartz or granite, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

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

Questions from Compstall

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Generally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover the whole of Stockport?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Compstall. Prices do not change with location.

Repair or replace in Compstall?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
