How we handle worktop repair in Worstead

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We work on quartz, solid wood and laminate, and the jobs we see most are a dent from a dropped pan and cuts and scratches in the surface.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep wood oiled

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Worstead as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Worstead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
