How we handle worktop repair in Old Town

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. Common call-outs are for chips in quartz or granite and chips near the sink, in solid wood, granite & marble and laminate.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Old Town?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

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

Common problems we fix in Old Town

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Gouges in the surface

Choosing a repair company

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Old Town

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Old Town. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Old Town, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
