Worktop repair for Fern homes

Worktop repair in Fern without replacing anything

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz, and common reasons people get in touch are damage around the sink cut-out and chips on edges and corners.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fern. The price reflects:

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

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Fern get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Fern

Replacing a 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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

What we’re called out for in Fern

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Scratches and knife marks

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate
  • Solid wood

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
