Worktop repair for Stanghow homes

Worktop repair in Stanghow 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. If you are dealing with snagging damage in a new kitchen and damage to a stone worktop, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

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

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Stanghow questions

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you come to Stanghow?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Stanghow from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Stanghow

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Scratches and knife marks

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to care for the finish

  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Wipe up spills quickly

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

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
