Repair or replace in Bygrave?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Common questions in Bygrave
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole worktop
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

- Damage from fitting or building work

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Bygrave
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
