Trusted worktop repair in Troston

Worktop repair in Troston without replacing anything

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our technicians work on granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about a damaged sink edge and a chipped edge.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Use a chopping board

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Granite and stone

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

Repairing versus replacing in Troston

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
