Worktop repair at your home in Newton Wood

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Whether it’s burns from hot pans and damage around the sink cut-out, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Landlord and trade work in Newton Wood

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

If you manage property in Newton Wood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Signs you need worktop repair in Newton Wood

Most chips are on edges and corners, generally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Dents and gouges
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Scratches and knife marks

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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 over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
