Worktop repair near Cousland

Worktop repair in Cousland, done in place

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We are often asked to fix chips near the sink and damage from fitting or building work, in solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour-matched on site

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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