Trusted worktop repair in Horsehold

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Worktop repair in Horsehold without replacing anything

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. If you are dealing with knife marks and gouges in the surface, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

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

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Clean spills right away
  • Use a chopping board
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Your questions about worktop repair in Horsehold

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a picture and we will tell you.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Horsehold. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HX7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
