Worktop repair in Rumworth, done in place

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. If you’re dealing with damage from fitting or building work and a heat mark or burn, we can usually put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire worktop

Most clients in Rumworth get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  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. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Rumworth: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Bolton. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK

Read our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
