Worktop repair for Fence homes

Worktop repair at your home in Fence

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. Whether it’s chipped corners and scorch marks from pans, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

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

Wood

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Fence. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Fence

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Gouges in the surface

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
