Need worktop repair in Talaton?

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Talaton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Clean spills right away
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • 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, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Repair or replace in Talaton?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our full price list.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Wood

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

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

Materials we repair

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