Worktop repair in Sleaford

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Worktop repair at your home in Sleaford

We repair worktops in place. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Typical jobs include a heat mark or burn and damage around the sink cut-out, in granite & marble, solid wood and laminate.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sleaford and across Hampshire.

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Sleaford

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that’s where cracks often begin.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Scratches and knife marks

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Sleaford: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sleaford

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Sleaford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing 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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
