Worktop repair near Abbeyhill

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Abbeyhill

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Abbeyhill. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, often. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you work in Abbeyhill?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Abbeyhill. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Abbeyhill

For anyone letting property in or around Abbeyhill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abbeyhill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Repairing versus replacing in Abbeyhill

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
