About our worktop repair in Shide

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Common call-outs are for burns from hot pans and a damaged sink edge, in solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Gouges in the surface

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole worktop

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.

Landlord and trade work in Shide

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Your questions about worktop repair in Shide

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Shide

  • Solid wood

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repairing versus replacing in Shide

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Clean spills right away
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

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

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
