How we handle worktop repair in Westhorpe

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Typical jobs include damage to a stone worktop and a dent from a dropped pan, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you are in Westhorpe and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Westhorpe

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

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

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area

Is it safe with children and pets around?

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

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

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
