Worktop repair for Iford homes

Worktop repair in Iford without replacing anything

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We work on solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are chipped corners and a chipped quartz edge.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Iford

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Generally. A photo lets us check.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Iford.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you come to Iford?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Iford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

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

Materials we repair

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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 the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
