FAQs for Milton Combe

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I need to be at home?

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

How much does worktop repair cost in Milton Combe?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Milton Combe included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Honest limits

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

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Granite and stone

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

Common problems we fix in Milton Combe

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chipped corners
  • Chips near the sink
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Milton Combe

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Milton Combe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, 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. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Get a quote

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
