Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

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

About our worktop repair in Anthorn

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. If you’re dealing with chips in quartz or granite and chips on edges and corners, we can help.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common questions in Anthorn

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Anthorn included. Travel is included in the price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

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

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

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

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When to call us in Anthorn

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A heat mark or burn

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
