About our worktop repair in Fairlee

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Whether it’s scorch marks from pans and damage around the sink cut-out, we can help, on laminate, granite & marble and quartz alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Clean spills straight away

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

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.

Your questions about worktop repair in Fairlee

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. A photo lets us check.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PO30 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
