What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Your questions about worktop repair in Bury St Edmunds

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

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

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep wood oiled

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Materials we work on in Bury St Edmunds

  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
