About our worktop repair in Boxford

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from fitting or building work and a dent from a dropped pan.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Boxford as everywhere else we work.

Boxford: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Boxford. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

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.

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate

Aftercare tips

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

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

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.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
