Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

FAQs for High Ham

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

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 across Somerset.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Signs you need worktop repair in High Ham

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A damaged sink edge

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlord and trade work in High Ham

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
