Worktop repair at your home in Nethertown

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about dents and gouges and a heat mark or burn.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

For landlords and businesses

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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you don’t 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Nethertown questions

Do I have to be there?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

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