Worktop repair for Offton homes

About our worktop repair in Offton

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We regularly repair solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during installation and chips on edges and corners.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

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

Offton questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are there extra charges for Offton?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you come to Offton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Offton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. 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. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
