Worktop repair in Aldborough Hatch

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Worktop repair in Aldborough Hatch without replacing anything

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz, and people most frequently call us about knife marks and chips near the sink.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Aldborough Hatch

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Aldborough Hatch. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

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

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
