Worktop repair near Pollhill

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add 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.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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 reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Pollhill

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Pollhill.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens next?

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow 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. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Most clients in Pollhill get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep wood oiled

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Signs you need worktop repair in Pollhill

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A dent from a dropped pan

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