Worktop repair for Wistow homes

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Advice

Worktop repair at your home in Wistow

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are scorch marks from pans and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Wistow

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wistow. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Keep wood oiled

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

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

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

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

FAQs for Wistow

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

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wistow

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 usually the cheaper route.

  • Chipped corners
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
