Worktop repair for Paddock homes

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Paddock

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

Worktop repair in Paddock, done in place

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. If you’re dealing with dents and gouges and knife marks, we can usually put it right, on laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Paddock. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole worktop

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Paddock questions

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Repair or replace in Paddock?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean spills immediately
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep wood oiled

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Landlord and trade work in Paddock

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
