Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

How we handle worktop repair in Plumpton

We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Common call-outs are for a dent from a dropped pan and chips caused during installation, across granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Plumpton

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Burns from hot pans
  • A chipped edge
  • Gouges in the surface

Choosing a repair company

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

What we work on

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

Plumpton questions

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. A photo lets us check.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Plumpton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Plumpton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Solid surface

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