Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Worktop repair in Overton without replacing anything

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for damage around the sink cut-out and a heat mark or burn, in granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

Materials we work on in Overton

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

Common problems we fix in Overton

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Your questions about worktop repair in Overton

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
