How we handle worktop repair in Lee Common

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and laminate, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new kitchen and a chipped edge.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Lee Common. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lee Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Materials we work on in Lee Common

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about worktop repair in Lee Common

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Buckinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Lee Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lee Common use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
