10 questions to ask before you book

How we handle worktop repair in Lower Ballam

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We’re often asked to fix a chipped edge and damage from fitting or building work, on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lower Ballam, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Ballam

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Lower Ballam, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
