Worktop repair at your home in Straiton

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for damage to a stone worktop and chips near the sink, in solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Straiton

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chipped corners
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Questions from Straiton

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

What affects the price in Straiton

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
