Worktop repair for Lodge Copse Estate homes

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Worktop repair at your home in Lodge Copse Estate

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and people most often call us about damage from fitting or building work and burns from hot pans.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

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

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lodge Copse Estate

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Lodge Copse Estate?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

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.

Common questions in Lodge Copse Estate

Which areas do you work in?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can pets and children be at home?

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
