Worktop repair in Marton Grove without replacing anything

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. Whether it’s scorch marks from pans and knife marks, we can generally put it right, on laminate, solid wood and quartz alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

FAQs for Marton Grove

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos 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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Solid surface

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

Landlord and trade work in Marton Grove

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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