Need worktop repair in Keele?

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it

Worktop repair at your home in Keele

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are burns from hot pans and dents and gouges.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about worktop repair in Keele

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Typically, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

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

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Keele

  • Solid wood

Landlord and trade work in Keele

If you manage property in Keele, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Keele use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use a chopping board

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Edges and corners chip most frequently, normally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Keele. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 frequently be sanded out and refinished.
