DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Broughtown and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We assess 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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Broughtown

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

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

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How much does worktop repair cost in Broughtown?

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broughtown use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
