How we price worktop repair

- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

About our worktop repair in Bovingdon
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We regularly repair granite & marble, laminate and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about burns from hot pans and chipped corners.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Advice
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Signs you need worktop repair in Bovingdon
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Common reasons people in Bovingdon contact us include:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Chips on edges and corners
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chips caused during installation
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
- How to care for the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
Should you replace it?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What else we do in Bovingdon
Bovingdon: your questions answered
Do you cover Bovingdon?
We do. Technicians travel to Bovingdon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. A picture lets us check.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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 will not last.
