DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Birch Green use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Repairing versus replacing in Birch Green

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Birch Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

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

Birch Green: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Are there extra charges for Birch Green?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you come to Birch Green?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Birch Green and the rest of Essex. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Birch Green?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Clean spills right away
  • Use a chopping board
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Never put hot pans down directly

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

What affects the price in Birch Green

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Birch Green. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Birch Green, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
