How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Aldham, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Common questions in Aldham

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
