Worktop repair near Stratton

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

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

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

How we handle worktop repair in Stratton

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on granite & marble, solid wood and laminate, and the jobs we see most are a chipped quartz edge and chips on edges and corners.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

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 morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  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. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

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

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Everywhere in the UK, Stratton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How much does worktop repair cost in Stratton?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Clean spills right away
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Stratton

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

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 fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace in Stratton?

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. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
