Worktop repair in Wellingborough, done in place

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We regularly repair laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are a chipped quartz edge and a chipped edge.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wellingborough and across Northamptonshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Your questions about worktop repair in Wellingborough

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Do you come to Wellingborough?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Wellingborough. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Landlord and trade work in Wellingborough

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wellingborough as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
