Worktop repair near St Helens

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Helens use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Worktop repair in St Helens without replacing anything

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. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for a heat mark or burn and chips near the sink, on solid wood, quartz and granite & marble.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Can I fix it myself?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

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.

What affects the price in St Helens

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including St Helens. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
