Worktop repair for Sandy Lane homes

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

About our worktop repair in Sandy Lane

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and people most frequently call us about a heat mark or burn and knife marks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairing versus replacing in Sandy Lane

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Sandy Lane

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Sandy Lane. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

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

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
