Worktop repair near Hobbles Green

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Worktop repair in Hobbles Green without replacing anything

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. We are frequently asked to fix a heat mark or burn and damage to a stone worktop, in quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Granite and stone

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

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hobbles Green use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

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.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
