Worktop repair for Kimpton homes

Worktop repair at your home in Kimpton

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. If you are dealing with burns from hot pans and damage around the sink cut-out, we can normally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Kimpton. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Kimpton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

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

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
