About our worktop repair in Laide

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with scratches and knife marks and dents and gouges, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

There’s 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 will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Your questions about worktop repair in Laide

Do you cover Laide?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Laide. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you match granite flecks?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Laide

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chips near the sink
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Burns from hot pans

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
