Worktop repair for Stockerston homes

About our worktop repair in Stockerston

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We’re frequently asked to fix chips in quartz or granite and cuts and scratches in the surface, across granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Stockerston questions

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Stockerston.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do you need worktop repair in Stockerston?

Edges and corners chip most frequently, usually from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Wood

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stockerston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Stockerston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
