Worktop repair in Pickup Bank, done in place

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Typical jobs include a dent from a dropped pan and damage from fitting or building work, on solid wood, quartz and granite & marble.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our full price list.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Landlord and trade work in Pickup Bank

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Your questions about worktop repair in Pickup Bank

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your BB3 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

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.

Do you work in Pickup Bank?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Pickup Bank. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Pickup Bank. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Clean spills right away
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
