Worktop repair in Soham

Worktop repair in Soham without replacing anything

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We are frequently asked to fix dents and gouges and damage around the sink cut-out, on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Soham

If you manage property in Soham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Choosing a repair company

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Laminate

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

Soham questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How much does worktop repair cost in Soham?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you come to Soham?

We do. Technicians travel to Soham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
