Worktop repair near Ridgeway

Worktop repair in Ridgeway without replacing anything

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for cuts and scratches in the surface and gouges in the surface, across solid wood, laminate and quartz.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

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, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ridgeway. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ridgeway. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Ridgeway and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
