Should you replace it?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buntingford use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Common questions in Buntingford

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How much does worktop repair cost in Buntingford?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?

All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

How soon can you come?

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

When to call us in Buntingford

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chipped corners
