Worktop repair near Hemingford Abbots

Repairs by material

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

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

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Hemingford Abbots

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Are there extra charges for Hemingford Abbots?

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

Is it messy?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Repair or replace in Hemingford Abbots?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
