Advice
About our worktop repair in Backford
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We are frequently asked to fix chips caused during installation and damage to a stone worktop, across solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Backford
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Common problems we fix in Backford
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that is where cracks often begin.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A chipped edge

What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price covers travel

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No need to remove anything

Landlord and trade work in Backford
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Common questions in Backford
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you come to Backford?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Backford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
