Trusted worktop repair in Sulhamstead

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Worktop repair in Sulhamstead without replacing anything

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. If you’re dealing with chipped corners and cuts and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire worktop

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Sulhamstead

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 more slowly, from knives and grit.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Gouges in the surface

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
