Worktop repair for Pridden homes

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. 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. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Pridden

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Pridden

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped edge
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Repairing versus replacing in Pridden

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Prices start from £95.

Read our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
