Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

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

Should I try a DIY kit 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 typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
