Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use a chopping board

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Should you replace it?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Helland use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

Questions from Helland

Do you work in Helland?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Helland. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Helland.

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.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

Are there extra charges for Helland?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Helland. The price comes down to:

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

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
