When a kitchen or bathroom worktop begins to look tired, old or stained, many people choose to simply buy a replacement. However, this is rarely necessary, with tile and worktop resurfacing offering an excellent alternative for a number of reasons.

The primary benefit to choosing tile or worktop resurfacing over a replacement is cost. When replacing a worktop you have to factor in the cost of the materials, as well as the price of labour and any additional work or materials that may be required as an indirect result of the replacement (in most cases, any surrounding tiles or paintwork will be affected, meaning that replacement tiles or a fresh paint job will be required).

The secondary benefit is convenience. Tile and worktop resurfacing can be completed in a day, causing little, if any obstruction to the day-to-day operations of the home. However, if bathroom or kitchen surfaces are being replaced, certain areas of the home could be out of use for a day or so, causing massive inconvenience that simply isn’t necessary. In addition a replacement will result in excessive amounts of mess that through the time and effort involved in cleaning up, may well cause further inconvenience.

In fact, worktop resurfacing can produce ‘as good as new’ results with a choice between silk matte, full matte or stone effect finishes. The process can also be used to change the appearance of a worktop at a limited cost and increased convenience.

The materials Hometech uses for worktop resurfacing are also UV resistant meaning that no yellow staining will occur as a result of exposure to the sun, and we will also provide a five year guarantee with any worktop surfacing we complete, in order to reassure you of the quality of the results we will achieve.
