How we handle worktop repair in Watton

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for knife marks and damage to a stone worktop, on quartz, solid wood and granite & marble.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we’re called out for in Watton

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chipped corners
  • A dent from a dropped pan

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job.

Advice

Repairs by material

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Watton

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
