About our worktop repair in Durlow Common

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. Whether it’s scorch marks from pans and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can usually put it right, on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Durlow Common

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Durlow Common use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we’re called out for in Durlow Common

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Dents and gouges

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Durlow Common: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Do you cover the entire of Herefordshire?

All of Herefordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
