Worktop repair in Iveston

Worktop repair in Iveston, done in place

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are dents and gouges and chips on edges and corners.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep wood oiled

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Common problems we fix in Iveston

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips near the sink
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Dents and gouges

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Iveston, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Iveston questions

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

How much does worktop repair cost in Iveston?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Wood

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

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
