Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Abthorpe

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Abthorpe questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you work in Abthorpe?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

How do I book?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Abthorpe. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  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. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
