Worktop repair in Potter's Forstal

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  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
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Solid surface

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Do not let water sit on joints

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
