Worktop repair near Drakeholes

Worktop repair at your home in Drakeholes

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Typical jobs include scorch marks from pans and gouges in the surface, across laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottinghamshire.

FAQs for Drakeholes

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’ll say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will the price change on the day?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Drakeholes

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
