Worktop repair in Nether Exe without replacing anything

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Typical jobs include chips caused during installation and burns from hot pans, on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Use a chopping board

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Solid surface

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