Worktop repair in Barnes

How we handle worktop repair in Barnes

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We regularly repair granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on edges and corners and damage from fitting or building work.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Barnes, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

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

Your questions about worktop repair in Barnes

Are there extra charges for Barnes?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

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.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use a chopping board

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.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Repairing versus replacing in Barnes

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
