Worktop repair for South Acton homes

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

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

Wood

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

How we handle worktop repair in South Acton

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are a chipped quartz edge and chips near the sink.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Acton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses can’t 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.

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What worktop repair costs

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

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
