Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Stenton

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Dents and gouges
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A damaged sink edge

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Questions from Stenton

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Generally. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

How much does worktop repair cost in Stenton?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Stenton

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
