About our worktop repair in Robin Hood

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. If you are dealing with a heat mark or burn and dents and gouges, we can usually put it right, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean spills immediately
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use a chopping board

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole worktop

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job without visiting.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Robin Hood

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Robin Hood use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Your questions about worktop repair in Robin Hood

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy 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, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
