Worktop repair in Basford, done in place

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Whether it’s damage from fitting or building work and burns from hot pans, we can normally put it right, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop

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

What we work on

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

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about worktop repair in Basford

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

How quickly can you book me in?

Repairing versus replacing in Basford

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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Basford

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Solid surface

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