Worktop repair for High Beech homes

What affects the price in High Beech

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole worktop

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job.

How we handle worktop repair in High Beech

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are a damaged sink edge and knife marks.

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

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in High Beech

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in High Beech, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Solid surface

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it 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.

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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