Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Granite and stone

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

What we are called out for in West Down

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

Common reasons people in West Down contact us are:

  • Chipped corners
  • Dents and gouges
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

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. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for West Down. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Down

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Down as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

FAQs for West Down

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, often. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is my repair covered?

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

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Clean spills right away
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to West Down. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
