Worktop repair for The Heath homes

Worktop repair in The Heath, done in place

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new kitchen and burns from hot pans, across laminate, solid wood and quartz.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

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

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

The Heath: your questions answered

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Usually. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Repairs by material

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Signs you need worktop repair in The Heath

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Look out for these signs:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chipped corners
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
