How we handle worktop repair in The Willows

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, with colour and pattern matched by hand. Nothing is taken out. If you are dealing with knife marks and burns from hot pans, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  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. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 marks can often be sanded and refinished.

When to call us in The Willows

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

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

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Your questions about worktop repair in The Willows

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover The Willows?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to The Willows from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
