Worktop repair near Asheldham

What affects the price in Asheldham

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Asheldham. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

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 price.

About our worktop repair in Asheldham

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We’re often asked to fix chips on edges and corners and damage from fitting or building work, across laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Asheldham questions

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.

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.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

  • Chips in quartz or granite

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

If you’re in Asheldham and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Solid surface

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Use a chopping board

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair
