How we handle worktop repair in Brentwood

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We regularly repair granite & marble, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are damage around the sink cut-out and a chipped edge.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Brentwood: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  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. The colour and pattern are matched 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
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Never put hot pans down directly

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Repairs by material

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
