Repairing versus replacing in Shalcombe

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

About our worktop repair in Shalcombe

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We regularly repair solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about knife marks and a chipped edge.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shalcombe

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

FAQs for Shalcombe

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover the whole of Isle of Wight?

We cover the whole UK, including Shalcombe and the rest of Isle of Wight. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Isle of Wight.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get 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 reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, 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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
