Worktop repair in West Knighton

Worktop repair at your home in West Knighton

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. If you are dealing with damage from fitting or building work and chips on edges and corners, we can help, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Re-oil timber worktops

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to West Knighton. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, 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 West Knighton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we’re called out for in West Knighton

Most chips are on edges and corners, typically from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips near the sink
  • A chipped edge
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
