Worktop repair for Harston homes

How we handle worktop repair in Harston

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Typical jobs include damage around the sink cut-out and a dent from a dropped pan, in solid wood, granite & marble and quartz.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Our hiring checklist

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Harston questions

How much do I need to move?

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

Do you come to Harston?

We do. Technicians travel to Harston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
