Worktop repair at your home in Borley

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. If you’re dealing with scorch marks from pans and chipped corners, we can normally put it right, on laminate, quartz and granite & marble alike.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Borley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in Borley

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chips caused during installation

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

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

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Borley. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
