About our worktop repair in Canvey Island

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new kitchen and scratches and knife marks.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Canvey Island

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One visit for most repairs

What worktop repair costs

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Canvey Island get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Questions from Canvey Island

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

Everywhere in the UK, Canvey Island included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

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.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop
