A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Common questions in Aldborough

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep wood oiled

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
