Worktop Repair in Leicester

How worktop repair works in Leicester

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We work on quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about knife marks and damage to a stone worktop.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Cost

Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today.

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Leicester. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Leicester. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Leicester: your questions answered

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
