Worktop repair near Wilmington

Worktop repair at your home in Wilmington

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are scorch marks from pans and chipped corners.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilmington

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Wilmington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Common questions in Wilmington

How much do I need to move?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

What areas do you cover?

All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

What we’re called out for in Wilmington

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chipped corners
  • Chips caused during installation

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
