Worktop repair in Wilton

Worktop repair in Wilton without replacing anything

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches are the most common worktop repairs. We repair them all in your kitchen. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chips near the sink and burns from hot pans.

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

What affects the price in Wilton

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Wilton

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
