How we handle worktop repair in Waddon

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Common call-outs are for a dent from a dropped pan and damage around the sink cut-out, in solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Waddon

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Your questions about worktop repair in Waddon

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waddon as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Common problems we fix in Waddon

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A heat mark or burn
  • A chipped edge
