Need worktop repair in Higher Poynton?

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

How we handle worktop repair in Higher Poynton

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We regularly repair laminate, solid wood and quartz, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches and knife marks and gouges in the surface.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Higher Poynton. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

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. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep wood oiled

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

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Common problems we fix in Higher Poynton

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Gouges in the surface
  • A chipped edge
