  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A chipped edge
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Chips caused during installation

Our hiring checklist

How we handle worktop repair in Sutcombe

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for dents and gouges and burns from hot pans, across solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Sutcombe: your questions answered

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Clean spills right away

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Sutcombe

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

Landlord and trade work in Sutcombe

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Repair or replace in Sutcombe?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
