How we handle worktop repair in Milby

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and the jobs we see most are a damaged sink edge and scorch marks from pans.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milby as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Milby, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

Milby questions

What information do you need?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Typically. Send us a photo and we will tell you what’s possible.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How much does worktop repair cost in Milby?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Use a chopping board
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Laminate

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  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. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
