Worktop repair in Fornham St Martin

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, 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.

Worktop repair in Fornham St Martin without replacing anything

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We’re frequently asked to fix chips caused during installation and damage around the sink cut-out, in quartz, granite & marble and laminate.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fornham St Martin. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

Quartz

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

Wood

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