Worktop repair in Foots Cray without replacing anything

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Typical jobs include dents and gouges and burns from hot pans, on laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).

Every job is backed for twelve months in Foots Cray and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How we price worktop repair

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Clean spills straight away

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for 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 reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

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

Common problems we fix in Foots Cray

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 gradually from knives and grit.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • A chipped edge
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A chipped quartz edge

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Foots Cray questions

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Generally. Send us a picture and we will tell you.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair several things at once?

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