Worktop repair at your home in Payhembury

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. Our repair technicians work on granite & marble, quartz and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from fitting or building work and knife marks.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Our hiring checklist

Payhembury questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Are there extra charges for Payhembury?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Payhembury?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
