Worktop repair for Dean Village homes

About our worktop repair in Dean Village

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We’re frequently asked to fix chips in quartz or granite and gouges in the surface, on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Wood

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

What we are called out for in Dean Village

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chipped corners
  • Chips near the sink
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Damage from fitting or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
