Book worktop repair in Ratcliffe on the Wreake

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When to call us in Ratcliffe on the Wreake

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A chipped edge
  • Knife marks
