About our worktop repair in North Pickenham

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Typical jobs include knife marks and damage from fitting or building work, on quartz, granite & marble and solid wood.

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

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

North Pickenham questions

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover North Pickenham?

We do. We send a technician to North Pickenham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

Laminate

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

Solid surface

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
