The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Brighton Hill

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site

Brighton Hill questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Are there extra charges for Brighton Hill?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you come to Brighton Hill?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Brighton Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Brighton Hill. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Brighton Hill get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairs by material

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
