Worktop repair in Milford on Sea

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How we handle worktop repair in Milford on Sea

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Common call-outs are for damage to a stone worktop and a dent from a dropped pan, on quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Milford on Sea

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
