Worktop repair in Snelston Common, done in place

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, matching the colour and pattern by hand. The worktop stays in place. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate, and the jobs we see most are a dent from a dropped pan and cuts and scratches in the surface.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairs by material

Laminate

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

Solid surface

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

Do you need worktop repair in Snelston Common?

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Clean spills right away
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
