How we handle worktop repair in Wickham Skeith

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Common call-outs are for scratches and knife marks and a chipped edge, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wickham Skeith and across Suffolk.

Wickham Skeith questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually. Send us a picture and we will tell you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Wickham Skeith

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Wickham Skeith?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
