Worktop repair near Old Way

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

About our worktop repair in Old Way

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: 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. We work on solid wood, laminate and granite & marble, and people most often call us about a damaged sink edge and a dent from a dropped pan.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Signs you need worktop repair in Old Way

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Dents and gouges

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage

Old Way questions

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Old Way and the rest of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will it make a mess?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Somerset.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
