Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

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

About our worktop repair in Lane End

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We are often asked to fix chips caused during installation and chips on edges and corners, across laminate, quartz and solid wood.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • 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 protect it best.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lane End as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Lane End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, 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 risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate

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

What we work on

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

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lane End. The price depends on:

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

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole worktop

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
