Worktop repair at your home in Maidencombe

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. Whether it’s scratches and knife marks and a dent from a dropped pan, we can typically put it right, on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Maidencombe

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Dents and gouges
  • Chipped corners
  • Scratches and knife marks

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. 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. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What affects the price in Maidencombe

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

Common questions in Maidencombe

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use a chopping board

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
