About our worktop repair in Ashby

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Whether it’s gouges in the surface and damage around the sink cut-out, we can help, on quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

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 to the worktop’s finish.

Wood

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

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

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

Materials we work on in Ashby

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ashby. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashby

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Ashby questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, often. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
