Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Boreham. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Signs you need worktop repair in Boreham

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Common reasons people in Boreham contact us include:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chips in quartz or granite

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Boreham: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover Boreham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Boreham and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Boreham

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Granite and stone

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
