About our worktop repair in Porthallow

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Common call-outs are for chipped corners and scorch marks from pans, in laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in Porthallow

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Porthallow. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Honest limits

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

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Common problems we fix in Porthallow

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A dent from a dropped pan

Comparing quotes

  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
