DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

West Chelborough questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can landlords book you?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Do you need worktop repair in West Chelborough?

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Chelborough use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. 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.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

What affects the price in West Chelborough

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

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

Laminate

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