Worktop repair in Brandon, done in place

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: 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. We work on laminate, granite & marble and quartz, and people most often call us about burns from hot pans and chips caused during installation.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Brandon

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What we do, step by step

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, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Granite and stone

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Brandon

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks often begin.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips near the sink

What your quote should include
