Worktop repair in Harby

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Worktop repair in Harby, done in place

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, matching the colour and pattern by hand. The worktop stays in place. We are often asked to fix cuts and scratches in the surface and damage from fitting or building work, across solid wood, quartz and granite & marble.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Harby questions

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you come to Harby?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Harby. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

On the day, 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, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Landlord and trade work in Harby

If you manage property in Harby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Harby. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
