Worktop repair in Irstead

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Laminate

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

Worktop repair in Irstead, done in place

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We work on quartz, solid wood and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are gouges in the surface and damage around the sink cut-out.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What we are called out for in Irstead

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips near the sink
  • Burns from hot pans

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
