Need worktop repair in Southway?

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Worktop repair at your home in Southway

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. Our repair technicians work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and people most frequently call us about a dent from a dropped pan and a chipped edge.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southway

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Southway, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Southway

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Southway. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

We cover the entire UK, including Southway and the rest of Plymouth. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
