Worktop repair near Freethorpe

Worktop repair at your home in Freethorpe

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Our technicians work on quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are dents and gouges and chips on edges and corners.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Freethorpe

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Common problems we fix in Freethorpe

Edges and corners chip most often, often when something heavy catches the edge.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Scorch marks from pans

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
