Trusted worktop repair in Elmer

Worktop repair at your home in Elmer

We repair worktops in place. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are a chipped quartz edge and cuts and scratches in the surface.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos 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.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Use a chopping board
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What affects the price in Elmer

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Elmer. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Elmer, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Choosing a repair company

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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