Trusted worktop repair in Hodnet

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Worktop repair at your home in Hodnet

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. Typical jobs include damage around the sink cut-out and a heat mark or burn, across solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What we are called out for in Hodnet

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chips near the sink
  • A chipped quartz edge

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Hodnet

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What areas do you cover?

All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

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. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Hodnet, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
