Worktop repair in Old Hurst

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Worktop repair in Old Hurst, done in place

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, with colour and pattern matched by hand. Nothing is taken out. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are chips near the sink and cuts and scratches in the surface.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Clean spills immediately
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Hurst

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Old Hurst

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in Old Hurst and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Signs you need worktop repair in Old Hurst

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Knife marks
  • Chips near the sink

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Old Hurst: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?

All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
