Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

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

Quartz

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What we’re called out for in Aldbury

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Knife marks
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A chipped quartz edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price

  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Aldbury. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Landlord and trade work in Aldbury

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aldbury as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about worktop repair in Aldbury

Will the price change on the day?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it messy?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
