How we handle worktop repair in Newmill

We repair worktops in place. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Typical jobs include damage around the sink cut-out and dents and gouges, in laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian).

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

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing in Newmill

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

What we do, step by step

  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

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

What affects the price in Newmill

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Newmill, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Newmill

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Dents and gouges
  • Chips near the sink
  • Chips caused during installation

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled
