  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Worktop repair at your home in Spittal

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for scratches and knife marks and chips caused during installation, across solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after 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. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Your questions about worktop repair in Spittal

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it messy?

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

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. A picture lets us check.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Spittal

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chipped corners
  • Dents and gouges
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Dry around the sink and joints

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
