About our worktop repair in Brede

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. If you are dealing with a dent from a dropped pan and a chipped quartz edge, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Brede

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Do not let water sit on joints

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. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Common problems we fix in Brede

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Knife marks
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chipped corners
  • A heat mark or burn

Comparing quotes

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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