Worktop repair in Shelley Woodhouse

Worktop repair at your home in Shelley Woodhouse

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for damage to a stone worktop and scratches and knife marks, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

What affects the price in Shelley Woodhouse

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Shelley Woodhouse, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Surfaces we repair

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
