Worktop Repair across Derby

Our worktop repair service in Derby

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. Our technicians work on solid wood, granite & marble and quartz, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during installation and a damaged sink edge.

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop

What we are called out for in Derby

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • A damaged sink edge
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Any details about the material

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 reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common questions in Derby

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
