Worktop repair in Picket Piece

How we handle worktop repair in Picket Piece

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We’re often asked to fix gouges in the surface and burns from hot pans, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Picket Piece. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

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

Common questions in Picket Piece

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you come to Picket Piece?

We do. We send a technician to Picket Piece for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

Can landlords book you?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
