Worktop repair for St Sidwells homes

Questions from St Sidwells

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Do you cover St Sidwells?

We do. Technicians travel to St Sidwells from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

About our worktop repair in St Sidwells

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are a heat mark or burn and chips on edges and corners.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

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 work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in St Sidwells, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What we are called out for in St Sidwells

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Scratches and knife marks

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to St Sidwells. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for St Sidwells. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

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

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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