How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

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

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Monkland

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Monkland: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Herefordshire.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Signs you need worktop repair in Monkland

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to care for the finish
  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
