How we handle worktop repair in Blake End

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Our technicians work on quartz, laminate and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are damage from fitting or building work and a chipped edge.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

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

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

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 on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. 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.

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
