Trusted worktop repair in Hanwell

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Worktop repair at your home in Hanwell

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood, and people most often call us about chips on edges and corners and chips caused during installation.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairing versus replacing in Hanwell

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hanwell

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use a chopping board

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

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

Hanwell: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Hanwell.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What areas do you cover?

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Signs you need worktop repair in Hanwell

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A chipped edge
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Knife marks

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

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

Solid surface

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