About our worktop repair in Darnhill

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Whether it’s scorch marks from pans and a damaged sink edge, we can normally put it right, on laminate, granite & marble and solid wood alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Darnhill

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

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

Are there extra charges for Darnhill?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

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

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Darnhill

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
