Worktop repair for Pennington homes

Worktop repair at your home in Pennington

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, with colour and pattern matched by hand. Nothing is taken out. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new kitchen and chips on edges and corners.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Pennington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Pennington questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do you come to Pennington?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pennington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you accredited?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When to call us in Pennington

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A chipped edge
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Knife marks
  • A heat mark or burn

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

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, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Wood

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pennington

If you manage property in Pennington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Clean spills right away

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

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

Repairing versus replacing in Pennington

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
