How we handle worktop repair in Torre

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. If you are dealing with snagging damage in a new kitchen and chipped corners, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Your questions about worktop repair in Torre

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Repair or replace in Torre?

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Torre. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Torre. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
