Worktop repair near Bengate

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

How we handle worktop repair in Bengate

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We regularly repair quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and the jobs we see most are chips in quartz or granite and chips on edges and corners.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bengate and across Norfolk.

Common problems we fix in Bengate

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • A chipped edge
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips in quartz or granite

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Bengate

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?

We cover the whole UK, including Bengate and the rest of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to Bengate?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bengate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Use a chopping board
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
