What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Worktop repair in Wakerley without replacing anything

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We are frequently asked to fix a dent from a dropped pan and scratches and knife marks, in laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Wakerley

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Generally. Send us a picture and we will tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Wakerley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common problems we fix in Wakerley

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Chips near the sink
  • Chipped corners
  • Knife marks

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
