Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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 are called out for in Alford

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Common reasons people in Alford contact us are:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Dents and gouges

How to compare quotes

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

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

Your questions about worktop repair in Alford

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. Send us a picture and we will tell you what’s possible.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Landlord and trade work in Alford

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job without visiting.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
