Worktop repair for Hartshorne homes

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

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

Worktop repair in Hartshorne without replacing anything

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, with colour and pattern matched by hand. Nothing is taken out. Common call-outs are for a chipped quartz edge and damage from fitting or building work, across solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Questions from Hartshorne

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you cover Hartshorne?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hartshorne from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Repair or replace: which is better?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

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.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Common problems we fix in Hartshorne

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hartshorne. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
