Worktop repair in Milden

Worktop repair in Milden without replacing anything

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are damage around the sink cut-out and gouges in the surface.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Milden

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Milden.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
