Worktop repair in Millbank without replacing anything

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, matching the colour and pattern by hand. The worktop stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix a heat mark or burn and damage to a stone worktop, across solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate

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

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Millbank

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Millbank. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in Millbank

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Usually. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

How much do I need to move?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is there a guarantee?

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

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Millbank?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CT3 postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

When to call us in Millbank

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A chipped edge
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Millbank, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace in Millbank?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
