Worktop repair for Lavenham homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Worktop repair at your home in Lavenham

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. Our repair technicians work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and the jobs we see most are a heat mark or burn and chips caused during installation.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Lavenham and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Your questions about worktop repair in Lavenham

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How much does worktop repair cost in Lavenham?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lavenham. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and 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 scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Lavenham

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

Common problems we fix in Lavenham

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that is where cracks often begin.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Gouges in the surface
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Damage from fitting or building work

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included
