Worktop repair for Stubb's Cross homes

Worktop repair in Stubb's Cross without replacing anything

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new kitchen and damage to a stone worktop, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Stubb's Cross

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Stubb's Cross. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you need worktop repair in Stubb's Cross?

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A dent from a dropped pan

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

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

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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