About our worktop repair in Red Row

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. We work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are a chipped edge and chips near the sink.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

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

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Red Row: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Should you replace it?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

What we are called out for in Red Row

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips on edges and corners

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Red Row

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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 will fit around changeovers where we can.
