Trusted worktop repair in Tatenhill

Worktop repair at your home in Tatenhill

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We are often asked to fix knife marks and burns from hot pans, on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

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

  • Quartz
  • Laminate

Tatenhill questions

Are there extra charges for Tatenhill?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Tatenhill and the rest of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Tatenhill. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Granite and stone

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

Common problems we fix in Tatenhill

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chipped corners
  • A heat mark or burn
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Keep wood oiled

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
