Worktop repair for Whitcombe homes

Worktop repair in Whitcombe without replacing anything

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. If you’re dealing with scorch marks from pans and cuts and scratches in the surface, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Whitcombe

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Whitcombe?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DT9 postcode.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Repairing versus replacing in Whitcombe

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Dry around the sink and joints

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

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

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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