About our worktop repair in Alfington

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. If you are dealing with a damaged sink edge and a heat mark or burn, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Alfington. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job.

Questions from Alfington

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you match granite flecks?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alfington

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
