Worktop repair at your home in Heather

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches are the most common worktop repairs. We repair them all in your kitchen. Common call-outs are for gouges in the surface and snagging damage in a new kitchen, across solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and laminate.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Heather

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Dents and gouges
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips on edges and corners

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Heather?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Use a chopping board
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Common questions in Heather

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Heather?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Heather.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
