Worktop repair in Roughlee

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

How we handle worktop repair in Roughlee

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, with colour and pattern matched by hand. The worktop stays in place. Typical jobs include chips caused during installation and chips on edges and corners, across quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Solid surface

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

Questions from Roughlee

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?

The entire UK, including all of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

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. 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.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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 particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
