Worktop repair in Kirtling

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we handle worktop repair in Kirtling

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new kitchen and scratches and knife marks.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Kirtling, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Clean spills immediately

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

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When to call us in Kirtling

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chipped corners
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips near the sink

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Kirtling

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

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

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Kirtling

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
