Worktop repair in Tackley, done in place

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Common call-outs are for dents and gouges and damage around the sink cut-out, in solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

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, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace in Tackley?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start 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.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

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

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Common problems we fix in Tackley

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Burns from hot pans

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
