Worktop repair for Hollacombe homes

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Quartz
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hollacombe. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

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

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
