Worktop repair for Knockin homes

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

About our worktop repair in Knockin

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Typical jobs include chips in quartz or granite and burns from hot pans, on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

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

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Clean spills immediately

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, 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, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Knockin

Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?

The entire UK, including all of Shropshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Knockin.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What we are called out for in Knockin

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A chipped edge
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Dents and gouges

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Shropshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
