Worktop repair in Mankinholes, done in place

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for chips on edges and corners and damage around the sink cut-out, across quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Mankinholes: your questions answered

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Mankinholes?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OL14 postcode.

What we are called out for in Mankinholes

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Knife marks
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
