How we handle worktop repair in Trematon

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We regularly repair solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged sink edge and burns from hot pans.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

Most clients in Trematon get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Use a chopping board
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trematon 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 Trematon, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
