Worktop repair in Fairbourne Heath, done in place

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Typical jobs include burns from hot pans and gouges in the surface, in solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ME17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place

Questions from Fairbourne Heath

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

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.
