Worktop repair near Hockering

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting 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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Worktop repair at your home in Hockering

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood, and people most often call us about a dent from a dropped pan and scorch marks from pans.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hockering. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

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