Worktop repair at your home in Hanmer

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our technicians work on solid wood, laminate and quartz, and the jobs we see most are damage to a stone worktop and scratches and knife marks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Hanmer

For anyone letting property in or around Hanmer, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Use a chopping board
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When to call us in Hanmer

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Hanmer questions

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Shropshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Shropshire.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SY13 postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Hanmer

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SY13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
