Worktop repair in The Middles

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Worktop repair in The Middles without replacing anything

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for burns from hot pans and chips in quartz or granite, on granite & marble, solid wood and laminate.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The Middles: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you cover The Middles?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to The Middles. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

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.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Never put hot pans down directly

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.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Signs you need worktop repair in The Middles

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
