Need worktop repair in Shalbourne?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Worktop repair in Shalbourne, done in place

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. Whether it’s chipped corners and cuts and scratches in the surface, we can typically put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Common questions in Shalbourne

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.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are there extra charges for Shalbourne?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  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. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Shalbourne

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
