What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Scratches and knife marks

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Alder Moor

Will there be a smell?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Alder Moor. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
