DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rodbourne as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded 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.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rodbourne. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

FAQs for Rodbourne

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Do you come to Rodbourne?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Rodbourne and the rest of Swindon. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Common problems we fix in Rodbourne

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
