Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Backwell Common

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Backwell Common use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

FAQs for Backwell Common

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Backwell Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

When to call us in Backwell Common

  • Chips near the sink
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Knife marks

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
