DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Take a look at our pricing.

What affects the price in Nanpean

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chips on edges and corners

Your questions about worktop repair in Nanpean

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

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

What do you need from me?

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

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

How much does worktop repair cost in Nanpean?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
