Worktop repair for Sandygate homes

About our worktop repair in Sandygate

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are chips on edges and corners and burns from hot pans.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

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

Questions from Sandygate

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When can you do it?

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

Do you come to Sandygate?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Sandygate from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

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

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Sandygate

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

You don’t 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.
