Worktop repair in Longlane

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How we handle worktop repair in Longlane

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. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are knife marks and gouges in the surface.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Longlane as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Longlane

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Longlane get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Do you need worktop repair in Longlane?

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Longlane

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.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually. Send us a photo and we will tell you what’s possible.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do you cover the whole of West Berkshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Longlane and the rest of West Berkshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

When can you do it?

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

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

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