Worktop repair at your home in Hamstead

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped edge and cuts and scratches in the surface.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Signs you need worktop repair in Hamstead

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Everything repaired in place

See our pricing.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Hamstead

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

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What affects the price in Hamstead

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Hamstead

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How much does worktop repair cost in Hamstead?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PO41 postcode.
