Worktop repair in Milton on Stour, done in place

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and people most often call us about gouges in the surface and scorch marks from pans.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Milton on Stour: your questions answered

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you cover Milton on Stour?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Milton on Stour and the rest of Dorset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Milton on Stour?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milton on Stour as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean spills right away
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

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

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

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