Worktop repair in Hardwick

Worktop repair in Hardwick, done in place

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. We work on solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are dents and gouges and damage from fitting or building work.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Use a chopping board
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

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

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Your questions about worktop repair in Hardwick

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work in Hardwick?

We do. We send a technician to Hardwick for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OX27 postcode.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Hardwick is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Water-swollen laminate

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

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, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

What affects the price in Hardwick

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hardwick as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
