Trusted worktop repair in Crafthole

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Worktop repair in Crafthole without replacing anything

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We’re frequently asked to fix a heat mark or burn and snagging damage in a new kitchen, in solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Never put hot pans down directly

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crafthole as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Crafthole?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
