Worktop repair at your home in Polgooth

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. If you’re dealing with scorch marks from pans and cuts and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material

Wood

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

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

What affects the price in Polgooth

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about worktop repair in Polgooth

Are there extra charges for Polgooth?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover Polgooth?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Polgooth. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

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

When to call us in Polgooth

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that is where cracks often begin.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A heat mark or burn
  • A damaged sink edge

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

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 burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

Surfaces we repair

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