How we handle worktop repair in Dorney Reach

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you are dealing with cuts and scratches in the surface and damage to a stone worktop, we can normally put it right.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

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

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Dorney Reach. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Dorney Reach: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are there extra charges for Dorney Reach?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Windsor and Maidenhead.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 generally the cheaper route.

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Burns from hot pans

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
