Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Blackboys get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Blackboys

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
