Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Clean spills immediately

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

What we are called out for in Ashton

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A chipped edge
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Before booking anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common questions in Ashton

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How much do I need to move?

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

Is it messy?

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

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Ashton.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Typically. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
