Worktop repair in Mill Common

Worktop repair in Mill Common without replacing anything

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our repair technicians work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and people most frequently call us about scratches and knife marks and burns from hot pans.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Granite and stone

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

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Mill Common, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to compare quotes

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Mill Common

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mill Common as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Questions from Mill Common

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
