Worktop repair in Finstall

Worktop repair in Finstall without replacing anything

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair solid wood, quartz and granite & marble, and people most often call us about damage from fitting or building work and a heat mark or burn.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Finstall

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

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Finstall questions

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
