How we handle worktop repair in Water Stratford

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during installation and scratches and knife marks.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Common problems we fix in Water Stratford

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Knife marks
  • Chipped corners
  • Gouges in the surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common questions in Water Stratford

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What areas do you cover?

All of Buckinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
