Worktop repair for Tinkers Cross homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Granite and stone

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

Worktop repair in Tinkers Cross without replacing anything

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, matching the colour and pattern by hand. The worktop stays in place. We’re frequently asked to fix chips caused during installation and dents and gouges, across laminate, quartz and granite & marble.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use a chopping board

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tinkers Cross

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tinkers Cross use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Tinkers Cross questions

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you come to Tinkers Cross?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Tinkers Cross. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Are you accredited?

Will it make a mess?

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

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

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Do you need worktop repair in Tinkers Cross?

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

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips near the sink
  • Knife marks
  • A chipped edge
  • Damage to a stone worktop

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
