Worktop repair in Ravenswood

Worktop repair in Ravenswood, done in place

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new kitchen and scratches and knife marks, in solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Water-swollen laminate

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Ravenswood

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What affects the price in Ravenswood

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price
