Common problems we fix in Richmond

Most worktop damage takes a second: 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 these signs:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chipped corners

Choosing a repair company

Worktop repair in Richmond, done in place

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Whether it’s scratches and knife marks and damage from fitting or building work, we can typically put it right, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Richmond and across North Yorkshire.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

FAQs for Richmond

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Richmond.

Are you accredited?

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

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently 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.

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What a repair can’t fix

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Richmond. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Richmond, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Richmond

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Richmond use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
