About our worktop repair in Icknield

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Whether it’s chips near the sink and burns from hot pans, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Solid surface

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

Icknield questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you need worktop repair in Icknield?

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Read our prices page.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Icknield

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t 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 photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
