Questions from Backbower
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover Backbower?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Backbower for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Backbower. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Wipe up spills quickly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
What we are called out for in Backbower
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Chips near the sink
- A chipped edge
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Chips caused during installation

Repairing versus replacing in Backbower
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. 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
- Fixed prices from your photos
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Work done at your home or business

Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
