How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

What we cannot put right

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
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Linstead Parva

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Linstead Parva

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement 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.

Generally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Are you accredited?

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Repairs by material

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use a chopping board
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Signs you need worktop repair in Linstead Parva

Most chips are on edges and corners, normally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips on edges and corners
