How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Keep wood oiled

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Worktop repair in Throop, done in place

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. If you’re dealing with dents and gouges and scratches and knife marks, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate alike.

You’re 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

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Throop use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Throop, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

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

Common questions in Throop

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you work in Throop?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Throop and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

10 questions to ask before booking

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Throop. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Throop, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
