How we handle worktop repair in Downley

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 cuts and scratches in the surface and chips on edges and corners, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What we are called out for in Downley

Edges and corners chip most often, typically from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

Look out for these signs:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Chips near the sink

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

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

Granite and stone

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

FAQs for Downley

Are there extra charges for Downley?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

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 reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

How we price worktop repair

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

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 without visiting.

Landlord and trade work in Downley

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
