Why repair rather than replace?

Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

About our worktop repair in Fortuneswell
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. If you are dealing with dents and gouges and burns from hot pans, we can generally put it right, on granite & marble, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Fortuneswell
Your questions about worktop repair in Fortuneswell
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fortuneswell
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fortuneswell as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
