Worktop repair in Miles Cross

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

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

Worktop repair at your home in Miles Cross

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We regularly repair quartz, solid wood and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new kitchen and damage to a stone worktop.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Miles Cross

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

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.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Miles Cross. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Your questions about worktop repair in Miles Cross

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How soon can you come?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

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

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Do you work in Miles Cross?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Miles Cross for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
