Trusted worktop repair in Low Leven

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Worktop repair in Low Leven, done in place

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new kitchen and a dent from a dropped pan, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Low Leven and across Stockton-on-Tees.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly

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

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

Low Leven questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

We price from pictures 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.
