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

How we handle worktop repair in South Wigston

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for gouges in the surface and a chipped edge, across solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Wood

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

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
