Worktop repair in West Street

About our worktop repair in West Street

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, matching the colour and pattern by hand. The worktop stays in place. We are often asked to fix scratches and knife marks and a damaged sink edge, on laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

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

What affects the price in West Street

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

Common questions in West Street

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What we’re called out for in West Street

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that’s where cracks often begin.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Scorch marks from pans

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ME17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
