How we handle worktop repair in Upper Wellingham

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We’re frequently asked to fix a heat mark or burn and a chipped edge, across quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.

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

Questions from Upper Wellingham

Can you quote from photos?

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep wood oiled

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire worktop

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
