Worktop repair for Trimstone homes

Trimstone questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Usually. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Granite & marble

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Knife marks
  • Scorch marks from pans

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Repair or replace in Trimstone?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Trimstone. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

Most clients in Trimstone get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
