Worktop repair in Lower Common

How we handle worktop repair in Lower Common

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for burns from hot pans and damage from fitting or building work, on laminate, granite & marble and solid wood.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Repair or replace in Lower Common?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lower Common. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Water-swollen laminate

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
