Worktop repair near Newbury

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Newbury

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When to call us in Newbury

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Knife marks
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A dent from a dropped pan

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
