Worktop repair in Nettleden, done in place

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. Whether it’s scratches and knife marks and chipped corners, we can help, on laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Nettleden. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

What we are called out for in Nettleden

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

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Knife marks
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A chipped edge

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Nettleden: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Use a chopping board

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

  • Solid wood
  • Quartz

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Nettleden, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

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

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Repair or replace in Nettleden?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
