Worktop repair in Keills

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Keills

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

What affects the price in Keills

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Keills, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Do you need worktop repair in Keills?

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips near the sink
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Gouges in the surface

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
