Worktop repair near Poolbrook

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle worktop repair in Poolbrook

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for chips near the sink and gouges in the surface, across solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Poolbrook as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Poolbrook, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Repairing versus replacing in Poolbrook

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use a chopping board

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

Common questions in Poolbrook

Is it messy?

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

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you charge for travel?

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