Worktop repair in Platts Common

Worktop repair at your home in Platts Common

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are a damaged sink edge and a chipped edge.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Platts Common and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Platts Common. The price comes down to:

Doing more than one item at once
The type of damage
The size and number of damaged areas
What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

Any earlier repairs or coatings
What it’s made of, if you know
A close-up of the damage, in focus
Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

Never put hot pans down directly
Re-oil timber worktops
Chopping boards prevent scratches
Do not knock pans against the edge

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

Discolouration deep in quartz
A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions about worktop repair in Platts Common

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you cover Platts Common?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Platts Common from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
