Wooden worktop being repaired in a customer’s kitchen

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Metheringham. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole worktop

For a price in Metheringham, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep wood oiled

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

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Signs you need worktop repair in Metheringham

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Scratches and knife marks

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Metheringham questions

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Do you work in Metheringham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Metheringham and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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