How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Avonwick. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Avonwick

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Our hiring checklist

Avonwick questions

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Do you come to Avonwick?

We do. We send a technician to Avonwick for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Water-swollen laminate

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean spills immediately
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Granite and stone

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