How we handle worktop repair in Bodley

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We’re often asked to fix a damaged sink edge and scratches and knife marks, on granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we are called out for in Bodley

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A damaged sink edge
  • A dent from a dropped pan

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Clean spills straight away

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. 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. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  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. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Questions from Bodley

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Granite and stone

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Bodley get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
