Worktop repair for Milford homes

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Worktop repair at your home in Milford

We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new kitchen and scratches and knife marks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Milford

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Milford

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
