Worktop repair at your home in Rodmell

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We’re often asked to fix dents and gouges and chips near the sink, in solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and laminate.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

When to call us in Rodmell

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: 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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Gouges in the surface

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Dry around the sink and joints

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

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Rodmell questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Rodmell

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
