How we handle worktop repair in Old Tree

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Our repair technicians work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are damage from fitting or building work and burns from hot pans.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Do you need worktop repair in Old Tree?

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chipped edge
  • Dents and gouges
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through 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. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Old Tree. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CT3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Old Tree

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

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

Do you charge for travel?

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