Worktop repair in East Stratton

About our worktop repair in East Stratton

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair quartz, granite & marble and laminate, and the jobs we see most are a heat mark or burn and damage from fitting or building work.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

When to call us in East Stratton

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chips on edges and corners

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • How to care for the finish
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

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

Materials we work on in East Stratton

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

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Use a chopping board
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
