Worktop repair near Haswell Plough

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

Worktop repair in Haswell Plough, done in place

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Typical jobs include chips in quartz or granite and chips near the sink, on laminate, granite & marble and solid wood.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Haswell Plough as everywhere else we work.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Wood

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  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. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Do you need worktop repair in Haswell Plough?

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Haswell Plough: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. A photo lets us check.

How much do I need to move?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DH6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Haswell Plough as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing in Haswell Plough

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. 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.
