Worktop repair in Milborne Port

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not 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.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

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

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Do you need worktop repair in Milborne Port?

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Common reasons people in Milborne Port contact us are:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips on edges and corners
