Worktop repair near Hollins Lane

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Hollins Lane

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips caused during installation
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Scratches and knife marks

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hollins Lane. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
