Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

FAQs for Rickinghall

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually. Send us a photo and we will tell you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your IP22 postcode.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Rickinghall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Do you need worktop repair in Rickinghall?

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips near the sink
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Knife marks
  • Burns from hot pans

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

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

Materials we work on in Rickinghall

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it 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. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
