About our worktop repair in Hillhead

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Typical jobs include chips caused during installation and dents and gouges, in solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hillhead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Landlord and trade work in Hillhead

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Questions from Hillhead

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you come to Hillhead?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hillhead and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How much does worktop repair cost in Hillhead?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Repairs by material

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
