About our worktop repair in South Street

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We work on laminate, solid wood and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are scorch marks from pans and scratches and knife marks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in South Street

Do you need worktop repair in South Street?

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Dents and gouges
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Street

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for South Street

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you come to South Street?

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in South Street get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

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. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

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

Laminate

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
