Worktop repair in Old Buckenham without replacing anything

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz, and people most frequently call us about damage from fitting or building work and cuts and scratches in the surface.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Old Buckenham and across Norfolk.

Should you replace it?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Old Buckenham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What we’re called out for in Old Buckenham

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Dents and gouges

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Old Buckenham

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NR17 postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
