Trusted worktop repair in Sandon

Worktop repair at your home in Sandon

We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are chips near the sink and burns from hot pans.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Sandon questions

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you come to Sandon?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sandon for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What areas do you cover?

All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
