Worktop repair in Basildon without replacing anything
We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about damage from fitting or building work and damage to a stone worktop.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Common questions in Basildon
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Typically. A picture lets us check what’s possible.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
