Worktop repair near Kenton

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

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

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

About our worktop repair in Kenton

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are burns from hot pans and damage to a stone worktop.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Kenton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

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.

What affects the price in Kenton

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Kenton

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped edge
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A dent from a dropped pan

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Granite and stone

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

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means removing the old one, 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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Kenton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Granite & marble

Kenton: your questions answered

Do you work in Kenton?

We do. Technicians travel to Kenton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Kenton included. Travel is included in the price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens after I send pictures?

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