Worktop repair for Waitby homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
