Worktop repair in Otherton without replacing anything

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards.

Otherton questions

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

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

Wood

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

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We assess 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. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Otherton. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ST19 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Signs you need worktop repair in Otherton

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips near the sink
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day
