Worktop repair in Southoe

Worktop repair in Southoe, done in place

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s gouges in the surface and scorch marks from pans, we can help, on quartz, laminate and granite & marble alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, 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 can work around your bookings.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Use a chopping board

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Southoe. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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.

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
