Worktop repair in Portrack, done in place

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are damage from fitting or building work and damage to a stone worktop.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Wood

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

Repair or replace in Portrack?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Clean spills straight away

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Portrack questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your TS18 postcode.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
