About our worktop repair in Mortehoe

We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Common call-outs are for cuts and scratches in the surface and chips caused during installation, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What we are called out for in Mortehoe

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Knife marks
  • Chips near the sink
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mortehoe. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX34 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Mortehoe

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Questions from Mortehoe

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Should you replace it?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

What we do, step by step

When we visit, 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 clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

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

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
