About our worktop repair in Perry Vale

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. If you’re dealing with damage to a stone worktop and scorch marks from pans, we can generally put it right, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Perry Vale as everywhere else we work.

How to compare quotes

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Solid surface

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

What affects the price in Perry Vale

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
