Worktop repair in Great Warley

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Worktop repair at your home in Great Warley

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. If you are dealing with a heat mark or burn and chipped corners, we can normally put it right, on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Great Warley and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Warley

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Use a chopping board

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When to call us in Great Warley

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Chips caused during installation

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Great Warley

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
