How we handle worktop repair in Borstal

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We’re frequently asked to fix chips near the sink and chips in quartz or granite, across granite & marble, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Borstal and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Borstal

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Do you come to Borstal?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Borstal. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Medway. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. A picture lets us check.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Landlord and trade work in Borstal

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
