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.

Granite and stone

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

Common problems we fix in Buttermere

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Gouges in the surface

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • The material, if you know it

If you are in Buttermere and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common questions in Buttermere

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What information do you need?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What happens on the day

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Clean spills right away

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
