Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Wood

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Burston

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A chipped edge
  • Burns from hot pans
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Chips caused during installation

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What affects the price in Burston

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Questions from Burston

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

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

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Burston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
