Worktop repair in Temple Bar

How we handle worktop repair in Temple Bar

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We work on granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new kitchen and knife marks.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Repair or replace in Temple Bar?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Water-swollen laminate

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

Materials we repair

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Questions from Temple Bar

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Keep wood oiled

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

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

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Temple Bar. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Temple Bar. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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