Worktop repair for Five Wents homes

About our worktop repair in Five Wents

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We’re often asked to fix snagging damage in a new kitchen and chips near the sink, in solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Five Wents

Do you work in Five Wents?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Five Wents from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back

If you’re in Five Wents and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Five Wents clients choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Five Wents

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Dents and gouges
  • Knife marks
  • Chips in quartz or granite

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. 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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
