Worktop repair near Preston Brook

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Worktop repair in Preston Brook without replacing anything

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Typical jobs include dents and gouges and a heat mark or burn, in solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  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. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Use a chopping board
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Preston Brook, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

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

Granite and stone

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

Common problems we fix in Preston Brook

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Preston Brook: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

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

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

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

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 normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

What affects the price in Preston Brook

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Preston Brook. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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