We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Common call-outs are for chips near the sink and dents and gouges, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.

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

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  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. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated 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.

Questions from Acton Vale

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we are called out for in Acton Vale

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Chipped corners
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Knife marks

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Clean spills right away
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
