Worktop repair in Burley Hill

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. 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.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are

Common questions in Burley Hill

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Water-swollen laminate

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
