About our worktop repair in Ruscombe

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Typical jobs include chips caused during installation and a damaged sink edge, across granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Water-swollen laminate

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Ruscombe

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

FAQs for Ruscombe

Do you work in Ruscombe?

We do. We send a technician to Ruscombe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How much does worktop repair cost in Ruscombe?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Repairs by material

Wood

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

Granite and stone

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

Repair or replace in Ruscombe?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

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.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
