Worktop repair in Minterne Magna without replacing anything

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We work on granite & marble, laminate and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are a damaged sink edge and knife marks.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Minterne Magna and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

What worktop repair costs

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Minterne Magna use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Minterne Magna

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Are there extra charges for Minterne Magna?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.

When to call us in Minterne Magna

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
