Worktop repair near Broad Colney

About our worktop repair in Broad Colney

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. If you’re dealing with damage from fitting or building work and chipped corners, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broad Colney as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Broad Colney

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Common questions in Broad Colney

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your AL2 postcode.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
