Worktop repair in Upleadon

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Your questions about worktop repair in Upleadon

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. Send us a picture and we will tell you what’s possible.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

How we price worktop repair

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Upleadon and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
