Worktop repair in Tickencote without replacing anything

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair granite & marble, laminate and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about gouges in the surface and cuts and scratches in the surface.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tickencote as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

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.

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

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

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

Materials we repair

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in Tickencote and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Tickencote questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Are there extra charges for Tickencote?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is it messy?

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

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a picture and we will tell you what’s possible.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairing versus replacing in Tickencote

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
