Trusted worktop repair in Wellington

Worktop repair in Wellington without replacing anything

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are chips on edges and corners and gouges in the surface.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wellington as everywhere else we work.

Wellington: your questions answered

Do you work in Wellington?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wellington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing in Wellington

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wellington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

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

Common problems we fix in Wellington

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Burns from hot pans

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
