Worktop repair in Kelling without replacing anything

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We’re often asked to fix knife marks and scorch marks from pans, across laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

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

Materials we work on in Kelling

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Landlord and trade work in Kelling

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Kelling, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. 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. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site

Kelling questions

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kelling. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
