Worktop repair near Slapton

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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

Worktop repair in Slapton, done in place

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We regularly repair solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about damage from fitting or building work and knife marks.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Slapton

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Your questions about worktop repair in Slapton

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Do you work in Slapton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Slapton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Slapton and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How much does worktop repair cost in Slapton?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. A picture lets us check.

Repairs by material

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Slapton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we are called out for in Slapton

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A damaged sink edge

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
