About our worktop repair in Slough

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We regularly repair laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are burns from hot pans and cuts and scratches in the surface.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Powys.

Signs you need worktop repair in Slough

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Gouges in the surface

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

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

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Solid surface

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Slough

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

What we can’t put right

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

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Slough

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Slough. Prices don’t change with location.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Repair or replace in Slough?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
