About our worktop repair in Ashton

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on quartz, laminate and solid wood, and people most often call us about chips in quartz or granite and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Questions from Ashton

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

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.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Ashton included. Travel is included in the price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ashton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Granite and stone

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

Signs you need worktop repair in Ashton

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Chipped corners
  • Knife marks
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting 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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Ashton

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
