Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Worktop repair at your home in Cove

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. If you are dealing with damage from fitting or building work and scratches and knife marks, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Cove

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

Signs you need worktop repair in Cove

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Cove

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Cove, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
