Worktop repair in Selsted

Worktop repair at your home in Selsted

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. If you’re dealing with a dent from a dropped pan and chips caused during installation, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Wooden worktop being repaired in a customer’s kitchen

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  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

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

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

Advice

Selsted questions

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Selsted

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Landlord and trade work in Selsted

If you manage property in Selsted, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

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.
