Worktop repair at your home in Wannock

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. Our technicians work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on edges and corners and a dent from a dropped pan.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use a chopping board
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep wood oiled

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Questions from Wannock

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How much does worktop repair cost in Wannock?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across East Sussex.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Is there a guarantee?

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

If you’re in Wannock and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
