What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

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

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

How we handle worktop repair in Tapnage

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, with colour and pattern matched by hand. Nothing is taken out. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are dents and gouges and cuts and scratches in the surface.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Tapnage. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Tapnage

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tapnage.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Signs you need worktop repair in Tapnage

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A chipped edge
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips in quartz or granite

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  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
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
