Worktop repair in Corton without replacing anything

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are a heat mark or burn and gouges in the surface.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Your questions about worktop repair in Corton

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Corton and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We do not 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.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

What we are called out for in Corton

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips often start there.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chipped corners
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

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

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
