Worktop repair near Kemnay

Worktop repair at your home in Kemnay

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz, and the jobs we see most are dents and gouges and scorch marks from pans.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Kemnay customers choose us

Take a look at our full price list.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Wood

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

FAQs for Kemnay

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Common problems we fix in Kemnay

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A damaged sink edge
  • A chipped edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Discolouration deep in quartz

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

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