You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Worktop repair in Drumlemble without replacing anything

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about chipped corners and scratches and knife marks.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Use a chopping board
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not leave spills to soak in

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

What affects the price in Drumlemble

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Drumlemble

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
