About our worktop repair in Plains Farm

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Whether it’s a heat mark or burn and a chipped edge, we can generally put it right, on solid wood, quartz and laminate alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repair or replace in Plains Farm?

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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Plains Farm. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Repairs by material

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

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

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What affects the price in Plains Farm

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
