What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Granite and stone

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX39 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Signs you need worktop repair in Appledore

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chipped corners
  • Dents and gouges

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel
