Worktop repair near Garmston

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

About our worktop repair in Garmston

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Our technicians work on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about burns from hot pans and damage around the sink cut-out.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  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. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

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

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Garmston

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Damage to a stone worktop

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
