About our worktop repair in Ormathwaite

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. If you’re dealing with a dent from a dropped pan and damage around the sink cut-out, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ormathwaite

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ormathwaite as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Ormathwaite questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Do you cover Ormathwaite?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ormathwaite from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ormathwaite. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

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’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CA12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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