Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Worktop repair at your home in Down Hatherley

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We are frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new kitchen and burns from hot pans, across granite & marble, quartz and laminate.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Down Hatherley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in Down Hatherley

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips near the sink
  • Dents and gouges

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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