Need worktop repair in Upper Lyde?

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page.

How we handle worktop repair in Upper Lyde

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Typical jobs include a damaged sink edge and snagging damage in a new kitchen, on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Upper Lyde and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Lyde

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Herefordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Upper Lyde

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Upper Lyde

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips often start there.

  • A chipped edge
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chips near the sink
  • Dents and gouges

Comparing quotes

  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  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. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
