How we handle worktop repair in Almshouse Green

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a 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 keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

FAQs for Almshouse Green
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Do you need worktop repair in Almshouse Green?

- Burns from hot pans
- Chips near the sink
- A chipped quartz edge
- A chipped edge

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
